Highway 51 in Pineville, NC, has reopened after a water main break triggered by Sunday’s ice storm closed the stretch between Downs Road and the South Carolina state line.​

Incident Details

Pineville Police announced the closure around 6:30 a.m. Sunday as crews addressed the break on a service line to a new development not yet handed over to Charlotte Water. Officials shut off the line, confirming no resident water service impacts.
