Riverview Drive from Maple Lane to Poplar Lane was closed at 4:46 a.m. due to emergency repairs to a broken water main. This street is still closed at this time.
Another water main broke near Pageant Lane and Crossland Avenue, caused the road to be closed for several hours. The line was repaired and the road reopened early Friday.
All main roads are in good shape and conditions on most side streets have improved. Warren said many parking lots are still treacherous.
