Water main break shuts down Matlock Road

A water main break shutdown Matlock Road in both directions near Green Oaks Boulevard early Saturday morning.

Arlington Water Utilities are working to repair a 42-inch water main break that has closed a section of Matlock Road in Southeast Arlington and caused low water pressure for some residents and businesses in the area.

The leak has been isolated and both lanes of southbound Matlock Road and one northbound lane of Matlock are expected to reopen by early afternoon.

Drivers should seek alternate routes until further notice.

The Parks Mall and Arlington Highlands shopping center now have water service.
