Long traffic delays are grinding Leeds city centre to a halt during the Monday morning rush as a burst water main closes major routes in and out of the city.

The Armley Gyratory is closed to traffic with police advising motorists to avoid the area where possible.

The burst pipe is causing traffic to crawl in both directions, with police on the scene to direct motorists.
