BROCKTON, Mass. — A water main break has forced the closure of a key stretch of roadway in Brockton, creating traffic disruptions for drivers in the area.
The Massachusetts Department of Transportation says Route 123 west is closed just before the Route 24 overpass. The Route 24 north Exit 31B ramp to Route 123 west is also shut down.
