Update: University Avenue Has Re-Opened In Its Entirety

Update as of 4:15 p.m.: Good news - crews were able to clear the roadway quickly.  University Avenue has re-opened in its entirety.  Thanks for your patience if you were delayed.

Original message below: 

University Avenue is currently closed between Woodland Avenue and Crescent Drive, due to a damaged fire hydrant that is flooding the roadway. Crews are on scene to repair.

This may cause delays in the afternoon commute; please avoid the area and take alternate routes. 

We will send an updated message once the roadway has re-opened.
