HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — A water main break has closed Route 46 in both directions Wednesday morning, Hackettstown police said.

The road is closed between Warren Street and East Plane Street; Center Street is also closed between Route 46 and Washington Street because of the water main, police said around 8:20 a.m.

Route 46 was previously scheduled to be down to just one lane between Warren Street and East Plane street due to utility work between 9 a.m. and 12 p.m. It's not clear how the break is affecting the scheduled work, or when the road was expected to reopen.
