NOGALES, Ariz. (AP) — A broken sewer line in Nogales has resulted in the temporary closure of the pedestrian gate at the Morley port of entry.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection officials say the Morley port will remain closed until repairs on the sewer line are completed.

Resources from the Morley port have been moved to the DeConcini pedestrian crossing to help facilitate travelers at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Public works crews on both sides of the border are working to complete repairs as quickly as possible.

City officials say damage is limited to a breach in a manhole that provides access to a pipe carrying more than 13 million gallons of sewage per day to the Nogales International Wastewater Treatment Plant.
