Main road closed due to burst water main

A main road in Derby has been shut due to a burst water pipe.

The A52 Ashbourne Road is closed both ways from Markeaton Lane to Markeaton Island after a water main burst, according to the AA.

Severn Trent said it was alerted to the burst shortly before 05:00 BST and apologised for any disruption caused.

The water company added their crews were working as "quickly as they can" to carry out a "complicated repair".

Trent Barton said on social media buses had been diverted and were missing stops on Markeaton Park, Markeaton Hill, Prince Charles Avenue, Vauxhall Avenue and Markeaton Lane.

A spokesperson for Severn Trent added: "No customers are currently off supply, but some may experience lower pressure than normal as we work to get things back to normal as soon as possible and we would urge drivers to find alternative routes where possible."
