GILLYGATE will be closed from 9pm tonight whilst repairs are made to a burst water pipe. City of York Council said that the road would be closed until 7am tomorrow whilst work is completed. A spokesman for the council said: "An alternative route for diverted traffic will be signed during the works period.
"Traffic signs will indicate the extent of the prohibition."
A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said: “We have planned repair work starting at 9pm tonight on Gillygate to repair the street’s water main. This will mean the road will be closed to vehicles until around 6am by which time we hope to have works complete and the road re-open as normal. We are carrying out this work through the night to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum. “
