Holderness Road closure as water main bursts

Holderness Road is part-closed eastbound due to a burst water main and the repairs currently have no end date. The road is shut eastbound at Woodford Leisure Centre, although cars can still enter and exit the car park for the leisure centre by following a route marked out in traffic cones. Road access to East Park is unaffected because closure is further up. Cars travelling eastbound are reduced to a single lane of traffic in the approach towards the roadworks and then have to turn off at Lodge Street or make a U-turn unless they are visiting the leisure centre. Bus companies diverting eastbound services down Summergangs Road, then turn right onto James Reckitt Avenue, and then right onto Ings Road, where traffic can rejoin Holderness Road.
