A major Sheffield road has been shut due to flooding caused by a ‘significant water leak’.
The council’s Streets Ahead team has closed the Shepcote Lane in Tinsley tonight (January 18) over reports of flooding on the road.
The mile-long dual carriageway, which runs through the Tinsley Industrial Estate, is connected to the M1 by the Tinsley Roundabout and ends in a junction with Greenland Road.
Diversions are reportedly in place around the road while utilities teams work to repair the issue.
