"The cold weather has meant the concrete used to fix the bridge hasn’t set and is not safe to re-open the road at the moment.

"We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this causes."

Meanwhile, Carr Lane at Thrybergh remains closed for gas repairs by Cadent.

These roadworks are expected to be completed on Friday, Rotherham Borough Council has said.
