Burst water main caused traffic headache
Chris Fawcett
BBC News
If you were wondering what caused congestion across Derby this morning, it turns out it was a burst main - and it could cause problems all week.
Severn Trent had to carry out emergency repairs in Alfreton Road in Chester Green, causing huge disruption for commuters across the city.
The firm has apologised to drivers for the closure, but say it was necessary "to keep their workers safe".

Peter Edney from Severn Trent Water told BBC Radio Derby: "I can appreciate the frustration, but at the same time, the pipe was leaking so we needed to get down to it, we wanted to do it without closing the road, but unfortunately we couldn't access the correct part of the pipe."
The road is likely to be closed for the remainder of the week
Teresa Lavin's victim needed 120 stitches after she stabbed him in the head, face and body with a kitchen knife in Poplars Close, Groby, in November last year.

Leicestershire Police said that although the victim was seriously injured, he was able to call a friend to tell her what had happened.
Officers found Lavin at her home, also in Poplars Close, in possession of a blood-stained knife and had blood on her clothing.
Det Con Kevin Sharkey, the investigating officer, said: “This was a vicious and sustained attack on an elderly man who had pre-existing health conditions, he sustained significant injuries and has been left incredibly shaken."

Lavin was remanded into custody after entering a guilty plea at Leicester Crown Court earlier today and will be sentenced next month.

When found she'd been wrapped in two items of children's clothing - a pink dress and a rabbit print jumper.
RSPCA Inspector Sarah Burrows who is investigating, said: “This was a very upsetting discovery, it’s unclear at the moment if the puppy was already dead when she was dumped or if the poor mite died later.
"The puppy does not have a microchip and there is no CCTV in the area so we are appealing for anyone who may have seen someone outside the church with a small pet carrier."
A man has been jailed for at least 25 years for the "senseless and unprovoked" murder of a hostel resident.
Martin McDermott, 60, stabbed Leslie Salmon, pictured, in the neck at Burdett Lodge in Derby last year.

McDermott, of Bass Street, had previously admitted murder and was sentenced at Nottingham Crown Court earlier to life with a minimum of 25 years.
Det Insp Gemma Booth said: "The sustained assault and suffering inflicted on Leslie was the worst I have seen within my career. Today's sentence reflects the gravity of the violence and brutality of the attack."
