Drivers are continuing to face major delays due to an emergency bout of Southern Water road works on the Redbridge Flyover. 

Today drivers in Totton, Ashurst and those commuting on the M271 faced more delays due to the partial closure of the Redbridge Flyover. 

Delays reached more than 30 minuets for some drivers - with Southern Water needing to access the site around the clock to repair a major leak.

A Southern Water spokesperson said: "We’re sorry for the continued disruption that our work to find a leak at the Redbridge flyover is causing.

"Unfortunately our teams have been unable to pinpoint this leak which is deep in our underground network of pipes. Work to locate it will continue today and tomorrow."

The works are set to last until Friday night - with drivers being warned to expect delays throughout the weekend and allow for additional journey time.
