Temporary traffic lights will be put in on a busy Southampton road on Tuesday due to emergency water pipe repairs.

Southern Water will undertake urgent works tomorrow to fix a leak on Burgess Road, with no completion time or date for the last minute fixes at this stage.

Southampton City Council is promising to issue updates as the works progress.

From 9.30am on November 5, temporary traffic lights will be in place at the junction between Burgess Road and Glen Eyre Road.

Authorities are asking drivers to plan their journey in advance.

Elsewhere in the city centre, congestion on the Itchen Bridge was surprisingly light on Monday November 4 morning because barriers were open.

Motorists were able to cruise over the bridge free of charge due to a pay point being out of order.
