A NEWPORT estate has opened back up to traffic following emergency works.

Monmouth Castle Drive, which passes through the Mon Bank Estate, was closed on Wednesday, December 18, for water issues to be repaired.

As a result traffic was diverted through Mendalgief Road while Welsh Water completed work.

The road is now back open and able to be used as normal.
