A west Charlotte road will reopen before rush hour Friday days after it was closed because of a water main break, Charlotte Water said.

West Morehead Street near Interstate 77 was closed Monday for emergency pipe repairs and road repaving.

It was the second time a water main broke in the area shutting down roads, the first being on Feb. 4 near Calvert Street.
