Big Delays Hit Newpoort Traffic After Water Main Burst
Motorists brace for a slow grind in and out of Newpoort this Monday morning. A major water main burst just after midnight near Orchard House, sparking chaos on Fairlee Road.
Two-Way Traffic Management Causes Hold-Ups
Southern Water engineers have swung into action, installing a temporary two-way traffic system to manage the disruption. Emergency crews quickly shut off the main to ease pressure and stop further damage.
Urgent Repairs Underway
Work is ongoing to dig down and fix the broken pipe section. Drivers are urged to prepare for delays while contractors get the water flow back on track.
