Water main break has downtown intersection shut down

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Construction crews are working to repair a water main break in downtown Austin.
Workers had to dig up a hole in the middle of the intersection at 7th Street and Trinity Street after the water main broke around 7 p.m. Wednesday night. The hole is an estimated 2 feet by 4 feet.
There is no word on what caused the break. An 8 inch pipe is being repaired.
Roads are expected to be closed until at least 7 a.m.
