A water main ruptured in the Historic Stockyards Monday morning, flooding the intersection near Exchange and Main streets in Fort Worth and cutting off water to area businesses.
The break along a 10-inch main was reported at about 10 a.m. after a sidewalk buckled, cutting off water service to several businesses.
The water main was repaired by about 6:45 p.m. and water service was restored.
The road will reopen to traffic once a contractor delivers fill material for a temporary repair. A contractor will complete the brick street restoration work at a later time, the city said.
Because of the historic nature of the brick road, each brick had to be removed by hand before digging could begin to fix the main.
