CINCINNATI — A water main break on Spring Grove Avenue in Camp Washington caused part of the roadway to collapse in on itself, Cincinnati police said.

The water main break happened around 2 a.m. in the 2400 block of Spring Grove Avenue at the intersection of Draper Street. The water main break collapsed part of the street and partially shut down traffic to the Western Hill Viaduct, police said.

Traffic had been slowed to one lane in each direction on Spring Grove Avenue.

Officials from Greater Cincinnati Water Works are investigating the cause of the water main break.
