PORT ANGELES — A water main leak was causing delays for motorists traveling westbound on U.S. Highway 101 early this afternoon where First and Front streets merge at the city limit just east of McDonald’s restaurant.
Two of the major arterial’s three traffic lanes, which includes a short turn lane, were closed at about 2 p.m. to allow Port Angeles public works personnel to look over the situation, a city police spokeswoman said.
“Officers are on the scene,” she said at about 2:10 p.m.
