A BUSY Forest road that has been shut for the last two weeks due to a burst pipe is expected to reopen later today, a spokesperson for Gloucestershire County Council said.

The B4234 in New Road, between Pedalbikeaway and Mireystock Crossroads, has been closed since the torrential downpour on Monday, November 21.

A spokesperson for Severn Trent said it couldn’t pin point the exact cause of the problem.
