A TOWN hit by traffic chaos has been warned it is likely to last until next week.
The A678 High Street and Blackburn Road in Rishton is closed both ways for emergency repairs between the B6535 Harwood Road/Eachill Road and Westwood Avenue after a burst water main.
United Utilities claimed yesterday that the work had been completed.
But a spokesman said today: "A section of Blackburn Road does remain closed while we reinstate the area following the leak.
"Our aim is to have this work complete by August 21."
