A major water main has burst in High Wycombe and delays are expected during this evening's rush hour.

Part of Cressex Road has flooded after a water main burst.

Thames Water engineers are on-site attending to the damaged pipe, between the roundabout on New Road/John Hall Way and the Cressex Link/Coronation Road junction. 

The pedestrian crossing has temporarily been turned off to allow Thames Water to have their own traffic management in place to better control traffic around the site. 

It is hoped that repair work will be complete by tomorrow.

Thames Water apologised for any inconvenience the repairs might be causing.
