SAN ANTONIO (KTSA News) — A major issue will impact the afternoon commute home Tuesday afternoon.

A sewer main broke under U.S. 90 on the West Side of San Antonio Tuesday morning just west of Loop 410 that forced the closure of the westbound lanes on both the westbound main lanes and the frontage road.

TxDOT said it does not know how long it will take SAWS to fix the sewer main break, meaning the westbound lanes will remain closed through the afternoon commute.

The department did not have an estimate for when the lanes could be reopened.

Drivers are being asked to find an alternate route until the repairs can be finished.
