CLEVELAND - A water main break has caused traffic to be diverted on a downtown Cleveland street Friday.

The break happened at the intersection of East 12th Street and Superior Avenue. As a result, the westbound lanes of Superior have been closed.

Traffic is being detoured onto St. Clair Avenue or Payne Avenue.

The Cleveland water department is currently working to fix the break.

Drivers are encouraged to take a different route.
