Water line break near Cumberland...

After going through Pineville and crossing the Cumberland River I came upon a sign that said road closed ahead which happens to be the very road on my route!  Should I turn around and take another route or forge ahead like Daniel Boone. You got it...I'm going ahead.  One bright thing about riding your bike on the road that is closed..... no cars!  So I saw this road worker and I found out the reason that the reason the road was closed is because there was a water line break, and they had the road blocked.  I was able to get around easily.  The man at the waterline break tried to talk me into going a different way.  They said it was too long.  However, I explained that I was on a mission.
