A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said: “Our teams are on site to complete a repair on a burst water main on Water Lane as quickly as possible. While this is being carried out, four-way traffic lights will be in place to keep our teams, road users and pedestrians safe.

“We apologise for any inconvenience and will remove the traffic lights as soon as the repair has been completed and the road reinstated.”

All water supplies have been maintained in the area but some customers may be experiencing low pressure.

It comes just two weeks after a sinkhole caused widespread disruption along the key route.
