East Valley Road Shut Down Following Major Water Main Break

A water main broke on May 29, causing significant damage to the southbound lanes of Alma School Road in Chandler, just south of Queen Creek Road. This incident has led to road closures as repair efforts commence.

The rupture occurred near the intersection of Sandpiper Drive, severely affecting traffic in the area. Crews are now working diligently to repair the damage and restore normal traffic flow.

The City of Chandler announced on Monday that Alma School Road will remain closed from Sandpiper Drive to Ocotillo Road through June 6. The extensive nature of the damage, compounded by recent rainfall, has necessitated a full closure for safety and repair purposes.

Officials expect the road to stay closed for the entire week. Drivers in the area should seek alternative routes to avoid delays caused by the ongoing repairs.
