Burst water main causes road closure on Dishforth Road near Ripon
A section of Dishforth Road on Sharow Lane, near the traffic calming island, is closed this morning following a burst water main.
Motorists travelling to and from Ripon and up to the A1, are having to use alternative routes along Berrygate Lane and New Road at Sharow and through Copt Hewick to avoid the blockage while workmen carry out repair work.
A villager told the Stray Ferret:
Contractors from Morrison Water Services, working on behalf of Yorkshire Water, are dealing with the burst and the collapse.
