The city of Springfield’s service department was notified by the Springfield Police Division Sunday evening that a window of the Credit Life building appeared to have fallen out, and glass debris was resting in the street, City Manager Bryan Heck said Monday. Special accommodations were made to allow motorists exiting Park National Bank’s drive-thru to exit onto High Street.
The portion of South Limestone Street impacted by the damage — the area between East Main and High Streets — reopened to traffic Monday evening with no lane restrictions, according to the city.
Caution tape lined the area Monday as workers began the repair of the shattered window, located between the eighth and ninth floor of the building, with a window above that level also being cracked.
The cause of the window damage is unknown, Heck said, but could have been impacted by the recent dramatic change in weather.
