Part of the road may have collapsed, police say
A Cambridgeshire road is closed after a water main burst. Cambridgeshire Police has closed off Weasenham Lane in Wisbech this morning (Tuesday, August 4) due to a burst water main.
A video captured by resident Ryan Conway shows water sprawling out across the road. The road has been closed by police between Elm Low Road to Bolness Road.
A police spokesperson believes “some of the carriageway may have collapsed”. As a result of the burst main, people in the area may be experiencing an interruption to supply.
On the Anglian Water website, it said: “We’re sorry if you’ve got lower pressure than normal or even no water at all at the moment. We’re working hard to find out what’s going on.
“Problems like this are usually a sign there’s a burst pipe somewhere in our network, but as it might not be visible yet, our teams are on the ground using the latest technology to try and find it.”
Anglian Water and Cambridgeshire Police have been contacted for further information.
