Crews fixing Hoosick Road in Troy

A busy stretch of Hoosick Road was reduced to one lane Tuesday morning for emergency repairs.

A city spokesperson said that the repairs are necessary to address a water main break. A break that had occurred years ago was fixed poorly. Water had gotten into the slab and compromised the road.

A temporary fix was put in Monday night and a permanent fix will be done by the end of the week, according to the city.

People are urged to use caution when traveling.
