Police and public works employees, along with a crew from Missouri American Water, were dispatched to the area near Lake Avenue and Michigan Street in South St Joseph early Thursday morning.

Water was bubbling onto the roadway and then freezing from an area near the Pizza Royal restaurant. Officials say it’s likely a water main has burst.

According to officers at the scene, there was quite a bit of water freezing in the roadway starting just before 5 a.m.
