SAN DIEGO (KGTV) – Authorities shut down a stretch of University Avenue in San Diego’s Rolando neighborhood Friday morning due to a water main break that spewed water dozens of feet into the air.

The main break and subsequent geyser were reported just before 7 a.m., according to authorities.

San Diego Police stated University Ave. would be closed between College Avenue and Bonillo Drive for “several hours.”

By 9:50 a.m., police said one lane on University Avenue in both directions was reopened, but motorists were being urged to slow down and proceed through the area with caution as the repair work continued.

The cause of the main break was unknown.
