Police closed Central Avenue in West Bridgford temporarily this afternoon after a sewage leak.
A Nottinghamshire Police officer said that they were called because of what appears to be a significant leak by the bus stops in the avenue. Witnesses said the water level had risen to a few inches high but had subsided soon afterwards.
Severn Trent Water had been working on the site earlier today.
The substance is foul-smelling and is thought to be a sewage leak from drains and manholes on the road.
Buses were diverted around the avenue for the duration of the closure.
Nottingham City Transport resumed service on the avenue at 3:37 pm.
The road has now reopened and police have left the scene, but the leak remains visible ( 3:30 pm Thursday 10 August )
A spokesperson for Severn Trent said: “We have just been informed of potential flooding in Central Avenue and are sending a team out to investigate right away.”
