A major Sheffield city centre road remains closed this morning after a burst water main saw it turn into a river.

Tenter Street is closed between the junction with West Bar and Broad Lane after the burst saw the road crack.

Around 1,700 properties around West Bar and Street were left without water on Sunday following a burst near the Hilton Hotel.
