Telford & Wrekin Police had declared the route 'unsafe' and expect it to be closed until early next week.
People were being advised to find alternative routes.

However, aa spokesperson for Severn Trent Water said the burst main had been repaired on Thursday afternoon, with all supplies returned to properties and the road was expected to reopen imminently.
