Burst water main closes Huddersfield Road in Millbrook

HUDDERSFIELD Road in Millbrook, at the junction with Besom Lane, is closed to traffic in both directions due to a burst water main.

The closure is causing significant disruption, with traffic being diverted through Heyrod and Mossley via Wakefield Road and Manchester Road. Drivers are advised to avoid Grove Road, which is currently gridlocked.

Public transport is also affected with buses not running beyond Brushes Road.

Repairs are expected to take four days so residents and commuters should plan alternative routes to reach Millbrook, Carrbrook and nearby areas.

Drivers are urged to allow extra time for their journeys during this period.
