Collapsed water pipe closes city centre road
Traffic is currently unable to enter a stretch of Upper Parliament Street
- Published
A busy road in Nottingham city centre has been closed due to a broken water pipe.
The city council said on Wednesday that Severn Trent Water engineers discovered the collapsed culvert under Upper Parliament Street during investigations into a sewer blockage.
It is causing the road to sink, the authority added, and the closure has been put in place as a safety precaution while the pipe is repaired.
Bus firms Nottingham City Transport and Trentbarton said multiple services were being diverted due to the closure, between Tollhouse Hill and Hurts Yard.
Nottingham City Council said it was awaiting an update from Severn Trent Water on how long repairs would take.
