TRAFFIC ALERT: Gas leak disruption warning

MOTORISTS are being advised to avoid a main route in Rotherham as repairs to a gas leak could take several days.

The A629 Upper Wortley Road — a main route leading to Junction 35 of the M1 motorway — is down to single file traffic at its junction with Lodge Lane leading to Scholes village.

Traffic lights are in place as National Grid Gas carry out repairs, and motorists are being advised to use alternative routes to and from the motorway, particularly during peak times.
