The agency said the water lines will be installed underneath the bridge located at Manuel Gómez Morín East Blvd. and Lázaro Cárdenas Blvd.
Those driving eastbound on Lázaro Cárdenas and attempting to turn left at the intersection will be forbidden from doing so, as well as those who try to turn left while driving southbound on Gómez Morín.
