The intersection at Niblick and Creston roads in Paso Robles was closed after a water main broke Friday morning, flooding the nearby area.
According to a Paso Robles Police Department news release Friday afternoon, the closure was at the intersection of Niblick and Creston roads as well as Sherwood Road at the Niblick and Creston intersection.
In a post on Facebook at 10:49 a.m., the Police Department advised drivers to take alternative routes for at least the next 13 hours as cleanup was ongoing.
