A ROAD between Bala and Corwen has been shut this morning due to a burst water main pipe.

An emergency closure has been put in place on the B4401 with vehicles being diverted via the A494 and then onto the A5.

Local firm Lloyds Coaches posted a statement to Facebook saying: "The first service in each direction have been heavily delayed because of this and will resume to time as soon as possible. The T3 school bus will still serve Cynwyd and then divert around the A5 to Llandderfel. This will be running late but we will try and ensure we serve the villages to collect the school children. We apologise for any inconvenience."
