A key road which has been closed for four days after a water main burst has now reopened, a water company has said.
Drivers reported "chaos" in Gloucester after the A417 Over Causeway shut outbound at 19:00 BST on Friday, between Alney Island and Over Roundabout.
Severn Trent said it had been working "through the night" to fix the road surface after repairs were made to the burst water pipe.
The city was gridlocked on Saturday with cars reporting being stuck in traffic "for hours" and one resident said getting out of his house was "torture."
In a Q&A on its website, Severn Trent said it received a report of a small leak in the road earlier last week, and scheduled a repair for Friday evening to minimise disruption. But the leak got "considerably worse".
"We did manage to fix the burst and stop the flow of water, but a lot of damage has been caused to the carriageway, meaning it wasn't safe for cars or our workers," it said.
