A Severn Trent spokesperson added: “We’re continuing to make repairs on Victoria Road East following a burst water pipe.
“While the pipe has now been fixed, the complexity of the road repair means we won’t be able to reopen the road fully until at least next week.
“We appreciate the disruption this will cause and thank everyone for their patience while we work as quickly as we can.
“We will be looking to partially reopen the road as soon as it is safe to do so, but until then, and to keep the public and our workers safe, we urge everyone to follow the diversion route provided and not drive through any road closures.”
