FALMOUTH -- A section of Falmouth Road reopened late Tuesday night after the Portland Water District repaired a water main break that forced officials to shut the road down around 2:30 p.m.

The section of Falmouth Road between Leighton and Mill roads had to be shut down for several hours but police said the break was fixed and the road reopened around 11:30 p.m.
