A water main break on 42nd Street just south of Leavenworth Street slows campus traffic on Wednesday afternoon.

Water main repair on 42nd Street between Leavenworth and Marcy streets could hinder traffic between UNMC and Interstate 80 and in other areas of campus for the next few days.

Work to repair the break likely will reduce traffic flow in the area to single lanes headed northbound and southbound on 42nd street.

The repair will last at least two days, campus officials said.

Employees and students are urged to keep the situation in mind as they travel to, from and around campus.
