A busy road has closed for utility repairs, impacting a toll bridge in the process.

Southern Water has shut a section of Eling Hill in Totton over the bank holiday weekend for works that the Echo understands is linked to a water leak.

The utility company's interactive traffic map gives an estimated completion date of 11pm on June 1.

Eling Toll Bridge has also been restricted to access traffic only, as the section of the road closed is close to the south-east end of the bridge.

Cllr David Harrison, who represents Totton South, said: "It looks as though it was a water leak.

"Somebody has let me know on Facebook that they reported it and there have been Southern Water workers on site over the bank holiday weekend, but they haven’t got the road surfaced just yet. 

"That’s the nature of emergency works, we didn't get any notice but that's just the nature."

Those travelling on foot or cycle can still get around the works on Eling Hill and a signed diversion is in place for car traffic.
