Rush-hour commuters driving out of Burton are facing delays due to roadworks caused by emergency gas repairs.

Cadent, formerly the National Grid, set up two-way traffic lights in Stapenhill Road, close to the junction with Spring Terrace Road, on Thursday, November 23.

The work caused delays with traffic queues building up onto Burton Bridge and at the Swan junction.

It comes as commuters recover from the controversial temporary closure of St Peter's Bridge which caused gridlocked traffic in and out of Burton for almost three months.

The Stapenhill Road roadworks are expected to last until Wednesday, November 29.

Cadent said it was carrying out essential gas repair works to provide a more reliable service for customers.
