UPDATE: LONGVIEW (KYTX) - Longview Police tell CBS 19 that McCann Road is expected to be closed until early Monday evening.

City of Longview spokesman Shawn Hara said they are repairing the leak before repairing the road, so most likely McCann Road will be reopened before Monday rush hour.

Traffic will be redirected through residential areas, so be prepared to tack on extra time on the drive to work in the morning.
