PARTS of Walthamstow were gridlocked because of road closures following a burst water main.

A section of the A503 in Haringey was closed yesterday morning to carry out emergency repairs.

Because of severe delays caused by the closure, a further section of the A503, Forest Road, in Walthamstow, has also been closed westbound between Blackhorse Road and Tottenham Hale railway station.

This has caused disruption with traffic on some of the borough's busiest roads, including Blackhorse Road, Markhouse Road and Lea Bridge Road, coming to a standstill.
