Huge water main burst closes major Doncaster road
A major Doncaster road has been closed after a huge water main burst.
Yorkshire Water said engineers were called to Warmsworth Road in Balby yesterday.
A City of Doncaster Council spokesperson said: “Due to a burst water main, Warmsworth Road between Hall Flat Lane and Larchfield Road (outbound only) has been closed.
“Please avoid the area if possible and we are sorry for any inconvenience caused.”
A temporary diversion has been put in place while Yorkshire Water contract partners M Group repair the main.
A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said: “We're working as quickly as we can to reinstate the highway.
"For the safety of our colleagues and those living and working in the area, we need to close the road whilst we complete the repair. We appreciate that this will be disruptive and would like to apologise and thank everyone for their patience.”
The road will be re-opened as soon as it is safe to do so.
