The A660 is set to be closed again today after a sinkhole and burst water main cause disruption yesterday.

We're hearing that the lastest major problems on Leeds' roads should serve as a wake up, as the city suffers gridlock traffic AGAIN.

The A660 Headingley Lane has been closed in both directions since yesterday morning because of a burst water main, which then caused a sink hole.

It's still shut today meaning more misery for people driving to work and on the school run.

Harry runs a beer shop along the road - he says it couldn't have come at a worse time;

"I think it might be a little bit of a wake-up call,

"If you're having Otley Road shut on a weekend where you've got 4 or 5 major sporting events it might be a little bit of a kick-up the backside to potentially think about some other options, rather than just hoping it's going to get through all right."

Yorkshire Water are working to fix the issue.
