A section of Kennedy Rd has been closed in both directions due to a broken wastewater pipe.
At 5pm Napier City Council said Kennedy Rd between Bill Hercock St to Downing Ave in Pirimai, Napier will be closed in both directions until further notice.
Pirimai residents are being asked to refrain from flushing toilets, using dishwashers and washing machines and empyting baths while Napier City Council responds to a suspected broken wastewater pipe on the road.
Detours will be in place but people are asked to avoid the area.
Before the road closure, one section of Kennedy Rd near Bill Hercock St was down to one lane.
