Crews with the City of Calgary are working on fixing a water main break in the southwest that could cause a big problem for commuters.

The break, at 4 Avenue and 9 Street S.W., was found early Wednesday morning.

Workers are at the scene but are concerned about the structure of the road.

They have shut down 4 Avenue at 9 Street S.W. to fix the break.

It's unknown how long the closure will remain in effect.
