Major disruption in York following 2 burst water mains on Wigginton Road set to last until Sunday

Traffic on Thursday was reported as chaotic following the closure of Wigginton Road from York Hospital to Crichton Avenue with two separate burst water mains.  The road continues to be closed today and will undoubtedly cause major traffic problems.

Yorkshire Water is undertaking inspections of the burst pipes and the damage caused to the road surface.  The latest news is the road will not reopen until Sunday and you are asked to avoid this area if possible.
