MATTHEWS, N.C. — A stretch of East John Street in Matthews is now reopened after all repairs to damage caused by a water main break have been completed, according to the town of Matthews.
However, Matthews police do ask drivers to continue to use caution in the area due to cones on the road. The cones will be in place of painted lines until they can be permanently added.
The town closed the intersection of East John Street and Trade Street on Friday.
Just last month, a nearby section of Trade Street in Matthews was closed in both directions due to a water main break.
