Witnesses report seeing the pavement in much of the intersection of McNabb Street and Great Northern Road buckling upwards under the pressure of water apparently leaking from a watermain on Sunday morning.

Much of the intersection is cordoned off with barricades and a large volume of water is seen bubbling up and pouring across the intersection.

Traffic is moving through the intersection but it is slow and motorists are advised to choose a different route to their destinations.
