A burst water main has closed in Hutton Road, Shenfield, in both directions.

The water main is located between Mount Avenue and Alexander Lane.

Due to a bridge height of 13ft at Alexander Lane local authorities are advising HGV Drivers to use an alternative route as the Alexander Lane route will not be suitable for most HGV Vehicles. 

Recommended diversion for HGV vehicles is via Rayleigh Road.

Closure is expected to be in place until Saturday at 1pm.
