Chopper 3 was overhead Friday morning as crews removed barriers blocking the streets.

The water department says the repair project was a major undertaking.

They replaced three water mains - 550 feet of sewer lines - along with sidewalks, curbs and street lights.

In all, it cost an estimated $1.7 million.
