A village in the north of England experienced travel chaos as a mains water pipe burst, leaving a busy road flooded all day yesterday (September 5).<br /><br />The A646 going through Mytholmroyd, West Yorkshire, was eventually shut off in both directions for the whole day, causing commuter chaos especially for parents taking their children to school.<br /><br />A bottled water drop-off service was installed as the local water supply was shut off by Yorkshire Water leaving surrounding areas lacking basic amenities.<br /><br />The Environmental Agency said: "Yorkshire Water, their contractors Morrisons and Calderdale Council are on site and we are working alongside them to resolve the issue".<br /><br />They later added: "At this time we do not know the cause or how badly the road has been damaged".<br /><br />The incident occurred metres away from ongoing flood recovery works which have been taking place over the last two years.
