Work to fix a burst pipe on a busy main road has led to long delays this afternoon.

Roadworks and temporary traffic lights are currently in place on Holtspur Lane, near Wooburn Green, causing chaos for many motorists.

Traffic on the road has been increased today following the closure at Handy Cross with queues of cars being diverted through the Holtspur and Wooburn area instead.

The roadworks are set to be in place for another two days, according to traffic links.
