A water main break is causing traffic delays at the intersection of Third and Wooster streets, according to a notice from the Wilmington Fire Department.
Wilmington Fire Department spokesman Chief David Hines said authorities have blocked three of the four westbound lanes at the intersection. The blocks between Fifth and Third streets at Wooster Street should be avoided until further notice.
Traffic trying to exit the city via the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge should access the bridge from Third Street, the Front Street ramp or consider using the Isabel Holmes Bridge, Hines said.
The Cape Fear Public Utility Authority is on the scene assessing the situation. A spokesman said the break is not affecting any customers but is likely to impact rush-hour traffic. Drivers are asked to be mindful of workers and slow down in the area.
