COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Crews working on an overnight water main break clipped a gas line in Colorado Springs early Wednesday morning.

Officials with Colorado Springs Utilities said the intersection of Fountain Boulevard and Chelton Road is shut down as crews work on repairs.

Officials said the gas line has been fixed, and they are now working on the water main break on E. Fountain between Chelton and South Circle Drive. There is also a large hole in the intersection, and crews said repairs on the water main and hole may not be completed until Wednesday afternoon.

Drivers are encouraged to take alternate routes.

About 18 nearby apartment buildings don't have water service because of the break.
