A burst water main in Oxford which forced the closure of a road has been fixed.

A 6in Thames Water main burst in Oxford Road, Cowley, at about 2pm today.

Workers dug up the road, between Littlehay Road and Havelock Road, and repaired the pipe.

Traffic has been reduced to a single lane and two-way traffic lights will be in place until tomorrow morning while the road is being repaired.
