Crews completed repair work on a broken water main early Wednesday in northwest Atlanta.

Moore's Mill Road between Peachtree Battle Avenue and Ridgewood Road, however, remained closed Wednesday, Department of Watershed Management spokeswoman Janet Ward said. It is expected to reopen by noon Thursday, she said.

It's the second time in recent days that Watershed Management crews have been at the Moores Mill site.

Earlier, a break closed the street on one side of the Peachtree Creek bridge, and crews stopped the leak so the road could reopen. Then, when the city increased water pressure, another break opened up on the opposite side of the bridge, and the street again was closed.
