Forest Road has been shut after a water mains pipe burst near its junction with Elmbridge Road on Tuesday (August 12).
Photos of the street show water flooding the area in front of the traffic lights, with cones also in place at the road closure.
Essex & Suffolk Water has confirmed that its teams are currently at the site carrying out repairs, but has not confirmed how long Forest Road will be closed for.
