A NETHERTON road has closed due to a burst water main.

Work is currently under way to repair the leak in Thistlegreen Road, which is shut between its junctions with Hadley Close and Mousesweet Close.

Motorists will be diverted via Withymoor Road, St Peters Road, Darby End Road and vice-versa.

Access to frontages will be maintained where safe to do so.

The road is expected to reopen tomorrow (Friday, April 20).
