THAMES Water has begun works on a road in Tilehurst after sewage pipework “collapsed” at the site on Wednesday, September 7.
Armour Hill, Tilehurst, has been closed between Wardle Avenue and Oak Tree Road while repair works are undertaken at the site, with traffic diverted via Oak Tree Road and Kentwood Hill.
Works are expected to continue until around Monday, September 19.
A Thames Water spokesperson said: “We are undertaking urgent sewer repairs due to collapsed pipework at Armour Hill in Tilehurst.
“Unfortunately a road closure will remain in place whilst we undertake this crucial repair work.
“Our engineers are working hard and aim to complete the work and re-open the road by the 19 of September – we apologise for any inconvenience caused to local people during this time.”
