Berlin, Maryland — A key intersection on the east side of town is closed today as crews respond to a water leak that surfaced early this morning. The Town of Berlin reported the problem in a post made on their official Facebook page, noting that workers from the Water Resources Department began repairs at 9 a.m. at the intersection of Showell Street and Flower Street.
According to the town’s update, the closure will remain in place throughout the repair process. Drivers who normally travel through the area are being asked to plan for delays and shift to alternate routes while crews work on the underground issue. No projected completion time was provided, although the town indicated its staff will keep the location shut down until the leak is fully resolved.
The intersection serves a residential area that sees steady daily traffic, and the repair work is expected to affect travel patterns for much of the day. The town also reminded residents and motorists to use caution when moving through nearby streets where drivers may be rerouted. Updates are expected to be posted by the town as work continues.
