The city council said Leicester Royal Infirmary was accessible via Jarrom Street

One of the busiest routes into Leicester has been closed for emergency repairs after a hole opened up in the road.

Severn Trent Water started the work on Infirmary Road in the city centre on Wednesday morning.

It is thought the road - which connects Aylestone Road and Oxford Street - will be closed until Friday lunchtime.

Drivers have been asked to follow a diversion along Welford Road, Tigers Way and on to the inner ring road.

The city council said Leicester Royal Infirmary would still be accessible via Jarrom Street.
