Traffic is taking turns using a single lane near the water main break, which occurred on Bragg Road between River Road and the entrance to the Heritage Hills subdivision.
Spotsylvania County utility officials are assisting VDOT at the scene. Water service will not be turned off, but residents living along Bragg Road and in Heritage Hills may notice brief disruptions to water service throughout the day, VDOT said.
VDOT flag crews are currently directing traffic on Bragg Road. The water main break was not related to a road construction project on Bragg Road, VDOT said. Work is expected to be complete later today.
