According to Lincolnshire county highways, Anglian Water contractors are currently on-site after the burst on the southbound lane of the A153 East Road and are setting up multi-way temporary signals to control traffic.

These signals will be manually controlled during rush hour to minimise disruption as far as possible.

Anglian Water is currently working to identify the exact location of the leak so they can make the necessary repairs. At this time, they have not been able to provide an estimated timescale for the works.
