The A64 near York has reopened after being closed for most of Saturday due to a burst water main.
It was shut westbound between the A1237 York turnoff and the A659 Tadcaster junction. A detour was in operation – see below.
It was first reported closed at 6.06am.
At 2.58pm, Yorkshire Water issued an update. A spokesperson said: “Our teams are on site to complete a repair.
“We are working hard to keep disruption to a minimum and carry out the work as quickly as we can.
