PART of a road in Monmouthshire will be closed for the rest of the week while a water leak is repaired.

Welsh Water has said it has found the source of the leak on a mains pipe on the B4233 near The Red Hart in Llanvapley.

The section of the road where the leak has been found is set to stay closed for the rest of the week. 

The following map shows the section of the B4233 which will stay closed.

A spokesperson for Welsh Water said after the repairs are done, the road should reopen on Friday, February 16, as normal.

Water supplies to residents' homes should not be affected - anyone who experiences problems with their supply is advised to contact Welsh Water.

A Welsh Water spokesperson said: "Our teams have identified a leak on a main on the B4233 near The Red Hart in Llanvapley.

"Repairing the leak requires a specialist part to be manufactured, which we are in the process of sourcing.
