A slight detour is necessary for traffic using Lorne Ave. in the city of Portage la Prairie today. Crews are working to repair a sewer line break. As a result, Lorne Ave., between 4th Street NW and 5th Steet NW is closed, as is 5th Street NW at Lorne Ave.

City staff say the hope is the repair work will be completed by the end of the day.
