Traffic Update: Part of major route in and out of Warwick remains closed after repairs to burst water pipe
Part of a major route in and out of Warwick is still closed this evening (Thursday December 18) after an earlier burst pipe.
The pipe burst is located on Coventry Road, near to the Saxon Mill pub.
Severn Trent closed part of the road in both directions earlier this morning while repair work took place.
Although the pipe has now been fixed, the road closure still remains in place.
A spokesperson from Severn Trent: “Our teams have now fixed the burst water pipe on Coventry Road and we’re working hard to get everything put back to normal.
"The section of road by the Saxon Mill will remain closed this evening, and we apologise for the disruption this will cause.
"We would still encourage drivers to plan their journey in case of any delays, and we’re working as quickly as possible to get the road fully back open again.”
The Saxon Mill pub was forced to close today due to the burst pipe flooding the ground floor of the building.
However this evening, the team at the pub said it will be reopening tomorrow.
A spokesperson said: “Good news! After the burst Severn Trent water pipe we are planning on being open as usual tomorrow
“Thank you so much for all of your patience and understanding, we can’t wait to welcome you all back.”
