A road near Swindon has been closed while Thames Water engineers respond to a water leak.
The leak on Priors Hill in Wroughton was reported to the utility firm and dealt with on Thursday, September 12.
While crews worked at the scene the route was shut to traffic and, while the leak has now been stopped and the pipe repaired, it will remain closed for several days.
This is to allow the reinstatement of the road, which has been affected by the repair works.
The closure is currently due to continue until the end of Monday, September 16.
