KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A large water main break has closed a short section of S. Ridgeview Road in Olathe.

The Olathe Police Department said the break was reported just before 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The street reportedly buckled, causing S. Ridgeview Road to be closed at E. Frontier Lane on the north and E. Sleepy Hollow Drive on the south.
