Water Main Blowout Floods Wokingham Road, Causes Collapse
Waterloo Road in Wokingham is shut tight after a burst water main triggered a nasty road collapse. Motorists are being warned to steer clear as the mess is expected to keep the road closed for some time.
Massive Sinkhole Swallows Road
The gushing water main didn’t just flood the street – it washed away the very ground beneath it. The result? A major chunk of Waterloo Road caved in, leaving a gaping sinkhole that’s too dangerous to pass.
Police Left Swimming in Work
Emergency services rushed to the scene, and it’s lucky the officers on duty might as well hold swim badges with how watery things got. Locals are being told to expect delays and find alternate routes.
When Will Waterloo Road Reopen?
Engineers are on site assessing the damage, but repairs won’t be quick. The road closure is expected to last for the foreseeable future, so plan ahead if you’re heading through Wokingham.
