It could be a couple of months before several roads in Alloa are able to reopen, after significant damage was caused in the process of fixing a burst water main.
All routes leading directly to Carsebridge Roundabout are off-limits, with an emergency prohibition of driving, parking, and loading order lasting ten weeks from the incident on Tuesday, March 24.
That’s unless repairs are finished by Scottish Water’s contractors earlier than expected.
A spokesperson for the company said: “We were able to keep the majority of our customers in supply as this complex burst developed. Our priority has been to ensure water supply continues to reach customers, as well as providing bottled water to those on our priority service register.
“The repair to the burst water main was complex due to depth and location. Whins Road roundabout will remain closed to through traffic in all directions, until our teams are able to assess any damages to the road, and organise the necessary repairs. We’re asking drivers to follow diversion routes, allow extra time and take care when travelling through the area.”
Those approaching the roundabout from the B909 will be diverted along Hilton Road, Springfield Road, Gaberston Avenue and Lambert Terrace, where they will be able to turn left onto Whins Road.
Vehicles coming from Hallpark are being sent along Parkhead Road.
