Sheffield commuter chaos continues for FOURTH day after water main burst

A burst water main caused severe flooding on Charlotte Road on Monday evening (February 3), and homes in the area lost their water supply temporarily.

The road is closed to traffic in both directions until repairs to the water pipe and the road surface are complete.

A spokesman for First South Yorkshire said buses on services 11, 14, and 51 are being diverted, and are unable to serve the stops on Charlotte Road, Heeley Bank Road and East Road,

The closure has led to heavy traffic in the area, extending the rush hour commute for many.

The diversions are expected to be in place until February 10.

A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said yesterday: “If the work is completed sooner and it is safe to do so we will remove the lights.”
