The southbound route of the A2030 is affected, with one lane on the northbound side also being blocked. Portsmouth City Council reported the news earlier this morning.
The local authority said: “Eastern Road southbound and one lane on the northbound are closed between Anchorage Road and the roundabout. This is because Southern Water's sewer main has burst to the south of the section they had repaired, and there is flooding which is not safe for drivers.

The utility company underwent a major repair scheme in March to try and stop the sewage pipe from bursting again. This was after several incidents which caused havoc for motorists throughout this year.
