A large water main break prompted emergency repairs in Fair lawn early Tuesday, forcing crews to shut down a roadway as work continued.
The break was reported on Morlot Avenue during the early morning hours, drawing public works and emergency crews to the scene.
Police said repairs are underway as crews work to stabilize the damaged main.
Morlot Avenue is closed between John Street and Saddle River Road while crews carry out repairs, police said.
Drivers are urged to avoid the area as work continues.
