Cedar Road Partially Closed Due To Water Main Break

CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH — A water main break on Cedar Road has caused the partial closure of the street, city officials said. Cedar is currently closed between Lennox and Grandview/Surrey. There's no time frame for when the main road will re-open.

Since the break opened up this morning, crews have managed to get one lane of traffic opened eastbound. Westbound Cedar Road, between Lennonx and Grandview/Surrey was still completely closed at 4:30 p.m.

The water main break happened Thursday morning. Cleveland Water was alerted by the city and crews are on the scene.

Residents are being asked to avoid the impacted portion of Cedar Road. Patch will update this story when the street is re-opened.

Police Chief Annette Mecklenburg first shared news of the water main break on social media. She told Patch crews were on the scene, working on the break, as early as 8:20 a.m.
