A busy Dunwoody road reopened Friday afternoon after crews finished fixing a 6-inch water main break.

Chamblee Dunwoody Road, which had been closed from Roberts to Spalding drives, reopened shortly after 4 p.m. Water service was restored earlier, but the road had remained off-limits as crews backfilled and cleaned up the area.

Fewer than 75 water customers were affected by the break, the city of Dunwoody said.
