Pima County officials announced traffic restrictions due to repair of a water line in Tucson Mountain Park, next to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum.

Starting Thursday morning, Aug. 17, a contracted crew will begin repair work on the line break along Kinney Road.

Water services in that area will be temporarily suspended during morning hours as a result.

Although Kinney Road will remain accessible, traffic flow will be restricted to a single lane and a flagger will be stationed on-site to guide traffic through the affected area.

The repair work is expected to finish within four days or less, Pima County officials say.
