Bristol Water says Stokes Croft burst water main 'more complicated than we'd hoped'

Traffic on one of the main roads into Bristol city centre will be disrupted until 'at least Monday morning' as a burst water main is proving tricky to sort out.

The water on the A38 at Stokes Croft started gushing out of the road close to Turbo Island on Friday morning, and led to lots of congestion and re-routed buses as Bristol Water rushed to the scene to try to sort it out.

They managed to contain the leak and reopen the road enough to allow one lane of traffic through - but the road will remain like that throughout the weekend, it seems.
