A burst water main has led to significant disruptions in Sydney’s Central Business District, particularly affecting the Downing Centre court complex. Castlereagh Street is now closed to southbound traffic at Liverpool Street due to the incident. Reports indicate that access to the local court has been hindered as a result of this closure.
Motorists are advised to steer clear of the area, as water has begun to accumulate on the road. Additionally, traffic signals on Elizabeth Street at Park Street are experiencing outages, further complicating navigation in the vicinity. Emergency services are present on-site to manage traffic flow and ensure safety.
At this stage, it remains uncertain how long the road will be closed. Authorities are assessing the situation and working to restore normal conditions as quickly as possible.
