NSW:Burst water main causes traffic chaos
SYDNEY, Aug 26 AAP - A burst water pipe on a main road in Sydney's northwest is causing
major traffic delays.
It's the third burst water pipe in Sydney in the past three days.
One of two southbound lanes at Pennant Hills Road, near Evans Road, in Carlingford,
will remain closed for most of Thursday, following a water main bursting about 6.15am
(AEST), an RTA spokesman told AAP.
"Traffic is heavy in the area," he said.
On Wednesday a cast iron main ruptured beneath Moore Park Road at Paddington, in Sydney's
east, resulting in tens of thousands of litres of water gushing onto the street.
On Tuesday another water pipe burst in the Cross City Tunnel, causing CBD traffic chaos.
Comment is being sought from Sydney Water.
