THE inside lane at Chain Bar roundabout remains closed due to a burst water main. 

The burst, which was first reported just after 2.30pm, caused flooding at the roundabout on the edge of Bradford - leading to lane closures. 

Teams have been working at the site to tackle the flooding. 

Yorkshire Water said the junction will be fully reopened as soon as it is safe to do so. 

A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said just before 4pm: "The inside lane of the roundabout remains closed while the clean-up continues.

"Teams are on site to continue the clean-up work and Yorkshire Water is working closely with highways and will reopen the inside lane as soon as remaining surface water has been removed and it is safe to do so."

The spokesperson said earlier: "Yorkshire Water has apologised for delays at Chain Bar roundabout roundabout following a burst water main.

"The burst on a large diameter main has caused surface water flooding on the roundabout.

"Teams are on site to isolate the main and stop the flow of water and will begin pumping away the surface water.

"The burst main is not impacting water supplies in the area.

"Yorkshire Water is working closely with highways and will reopen the roundabout as soon as surface water has been removed and it is safe to do so."
