Hollywood Ave. closed after water main break

SHREVEPORT, LA (KSLA) -

Drivers who use Hollywood Avenue in Shreveport will need to find another way to go. A 12" water main that parallels Hollywood broke early Thursday morning, forcing crews to tear open part of the road and close Hollywood from Linwood Avenue to Bernstein Avenue.

The Water Department began working on the problem at 6:30 a.m., which is at the intersection of Hollywood and Adams St.

Water to that line was cut off, leaving about 10 homes and one business without water until the main is fixed, which should be about 3 p.m. Thursday.

The city says that stretch of Hollywood will remain closed until the water main is fixed. After that, the eastbound lane of Hollywood will reopen to traffic. The westbound lanes will stay closed for several days while crews repair the road.
