A road in the centre of Bath was temporarily closed yesterday afternoon, Monday 9th March, after a vault underneath began to collapse.

St James’ Parade was closed to all traffic after significant cracks began to appear in the tarmac near the junction with Corn Street.
Two-way signals have now been put in place on the other side of the road by Bath & North East Somerset Council, enabling it to be reopened to traffic.
In a statement on social media, the local authority said it was “working with the property owner and will provide further updates”.
