Crews are working to address a water main break on NW Third Avenue in Grand Rapids that occurred Thursday afternoon.

GRAND RAPIDS — Police are asking people to avoid Northwest Third Avenue between Northwest 13th and 14th streets because of a water main break.

In a social media post shared shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 12, the Grand Rapids Police Department said crews are working to assess and correct the issue.

"This will certainly complicate routes to and from Grand Rapids High School," the post stated.

"PLEASE use caution, expect delays, find alternative routes and appreciate those folks braving this cold in attempts to minimize possible service interruptions."
