Aurora Utilities reported the broken line under the eastbound lanes of U.S. 50 at the Wilson Creek intersection around 7:08 a.m.

Crews have shut down the broken line that has caused water to seep onto U.S. 50. The eastbound lanes will be reduced to one lane (the center turn lane) once crews set up to repair the line.
