DAMAGE from a burst water pipe shut off a street in the centre of York for at least a day.
A spokesman for Yorkshire Water confirmed traffic had been stopped on Goodramgate, between St Maurice’s Road and College Street, to allow workers to rectify a problem with the road caused by a burst pipe.
He said: “Now the pipe has been repaired we have moved on to fixing the road, but we have noticed a void on the road which may be caused by water or could be a collapsed sewer.”
The firm will today, examine the damage from inside the sewer with a remote operated robot fitted with CCTV cameras.
