Detours are in place in a North Canterbury township due to a burst water main.

Contractors "worked through the night" to repair the leak on High St, Rangiora, said the Waimakariri District Council.

But due to the "significant work" required to fix the road, the right turning lane from High St to Albert St has been closed. 

The district council said further repairs could take about two days.
