THE A61 in Derby has re-opened after being shut for more than 24 hours.
Severn Trent said it had to carry out work to repair a large water pipe on the Alfreton Road section of the A61, which runs from Little Eaton Roundabout towards Derby.
As a result, there were long queues on the A38 southbound.
The A61 northbound was open but a knock-on effect caused delays for drivers heading out of Derby and towards the A38.
Alternative routes including the A6 were also heavily congested.
