Motorists in and around the Combe Down area of Bath are being warned to expect delays after a water main burst on North Road.
A section of road near the junction with Ralph Allen Drive has been closed, with a signposted diversion in place, while Wessex Water teams work to deal with the burst which happened on Friday afternoon, 24th January.
A spokesperson for the water and sewerage company said: “We have closed the road in both directions while our team are continuing their work to repair this burst main on North Road throughout today (Saturday).
“The burst caused a flood which also damaged the road surface and this is also a complex repair involving a deep excavation, hence the closure so that our team can carry out the work safely.
“Road users are asked to take the closure into account when considering their journeys. We’re working as quickly as possible to complete the work and we apologise for any inconvenience caused.
“Water supplies to homes and businesses in the area remain unaffected.”
