Puddlers Corner in Consett to reopen after burst water pipe shut road
Puddlers Corner and Rotary Way in Consett have been shut since Monday (February 2) due to a 12-inch burst water pipe.
The closure has been in place near the roundabout by KFC and McDonald’s. Water supply to homes was not affected.
Northumbrian Water confirmed the burst has since been repaired. The road is expected to reopen on Saturday (February 7), after weather conditions delayed repairs of its surface.

A spokesperson for the water company said: “Our crews are now working as quickly and safely as possible to complete the repair of the road, however the wet weather conditions have slowed the progress slightly.
“We expect this work to be finished by mid-morning on Saturday (February 7), and we’d like to thank our customers and road users for their patience while we get everything back to normal.”
