The closure of Wigginton Road this morning has created serious traffic problems across the city centre.
As at 10.15am there was congestion:
Most routes around the city centre are busy, and the Northern section of the outer ring road near Clifton Moor is very slow too.
The closure of Wigginton Road this morning is clearly having a major impact on York Hospital.
They are asking anyone travelling to plan ahead.

We’ve just had an update from the York Travel Twitter feed.
It says: “Yorkshire Water are dealing with multiple burst water mains in the area of the hospital please try and avoid the area if possible.”

The AA reports: “Road closed due to water main work on B1363 Wigginton Road both ways between the Hospital and Haxby Road.”
Best to avoid the area if you can. We’ll update when we have more.
