An emergency road closure is in place at Haine Road in Ramsgate due to a burst water main.
The road has been closed at the junction with Spratling Lane – both ways from Leigh Road to St Johns Avenue – and could remain shut for up to seven days.
The alternative route is via B2050 Manston Road, Newington Road, A254 Margate Road, A256 Haine Road and New Haine Road, however congestion is seeing numerous tailbacks.
There are also temporary traffic lights in Westwood Road due to further Southern Water repairs to another burst main.
Southern Water says: “We’re repairing two pipes in Broadstairs and Ramsgate. Haine Road, Ramsgate, where third party damage has caused a burst, and the second in Westwood Road, Broadstairs.
“While the two aren’t connected, we’ve had to shut part of Haine Road to keep everyone safe in the area. It’s closed at the junction with Manston Road, to the junction of St. John’s Avenue.
“If you live nearby, you may also notice low pressure. We’re really sorry for any disruption this is causing.”
