SAN FRANCISCO -- An 8-inch water main broke near San Francisco's Panhandle early this morning. The pipe was reported broken around 5 a.m. at the intersection of Oak and Baker streets, SFPUC spokesman Tyrone Jue said.

Crews are at the scene making repairs and water service is expected to be restored by 11:30 a.m.

Two right lanes of Oak Street are blocked so motorists should expect traffic delays in the area this morning.

A nearby DMV office is also closed due to the break.
