ROYAL OAK, Mich. (WXYZ) — Workers with the Royal Oak Department of Public Service are working to repair a water main break on Woodward Avenue and Catalpa Drive.
Watch the report from our 6 a.m. show and footage from Chopper 7
The northbound side is impassable due to the break. Chopper 7 shows that the flooding stretches about five lanes of traffic.
The water main break was reported just before 3:30 a.m. Thursday, but DPS says there are no issues requiring a boil water advisory. A local business owner confirmed to us that their water pressure was never impacted.
Public works vehicles have shown up since we got to the scene at 4:30 a,m., and we have noticed significant improvement just in the past hour.
If you take Woodward in this area for your commute, you can use Coolidge Hwy instead via 11 Mile or 12 Mile.
This is a developing story. Stay with 7 News Detroit for updates as we learn more.
