A burst water main has closed a section of Waimea Rd in Stoke.
Nelson City Council announced the emergency closure on Wednesday morning after the water pipe burst.
Traffic heading to Stoke from Nelson are being diverted along Annesbrook Drive to allow for the closure between Matangi St and Quarantine Rd.
Council contractors are on site with one side of the road dug up.
A council statement apologised for the inconvenience while work is carried out.
