Water main break shuts down part of Woodward Avenue at Catalpa Drive

Part of Woodward Avenue was closed about 5 a.m. Thursday in Oakland County, Michigan, after local authorities discovered a water main break. 

The water main break has flooded the northbound lanes of Woodward Avenue at Catalpa Drive. 

Utility crews and police are on scene and expect to be in the area for some time. Area businesses still have water access, according to crews on site.

Police have asked motorists to route around the road closure, which is northbound Woodward between Caltalpa Drive / Vinsetta Boulevard and 12 Mile Road.
