A burst water main is causing substantial delays for bus services and traffic disruptions within Bristol city centre. The A38 St Augustine’s Parade Northbound is currently closed, resulting in queueing traffic on adjacent roads, including Baldwin Street, Denmark Street, and Christmas Street. First West of England has issued a warning about potential delays of up to an hour for numerous bus routes, specifically services 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 72, 77, U2, Y6, X1, X4, X6, X7, X8, X9, 70, and 55. South West Water has confirmed that the main pipe itself has been repaired, and crews are now focused on road repairs. The company stated, “We have closed the road so we can do this as quickly and safely as possible.” It also reported that no customers are currently without water, though the repair work is anticipated to be complex due to the presence of high scaffolding in the vicinity. First West of England has indicated that the current diversions might be lifted sooner if the repair operations are completed ahead of schedule.
