Nottinghamshire road closed as burst water main causes 4-foot crater

A large hole has opened up in a Nottinghamshire street following a burst water main - leaving the road cordoned off with barriers and cones in place. A closure order has also been served at the location of the 4 foot deep hole the corner of Mansfield Road and Outram Street, outside the New Cross Pub in Sutton-in-Ashfield.

As the burst water main is in the middle of the carriageway, the road is closed in both directions between Redcliffe Street and Dalestorth Street. The road will be closed until Friday, December 30, the earliest.

It comes as the crater went viral on Facebook - with residents photoshopping it into a scene from Titanic. Another put the Loch Ness Monster in the four foot crater.
