Southern Water is repairing a collapsed sewer in Carisbrooke Road, Newport with severe disruption expected for up to two weeks.
Due to the nature of the work, a section of Carisbrooke Road will be closed from today (Wednesday) to ensure the work can be carried out safely.
The closure is between Cedar Hill and Wellington Road, and a two-way diversion is in place using Priory Road, Gunville Road, Forest Road (A3054) and Medina Way.
County Customer Manager Adam Wilds, said: “We’re sorry for the disruption these works may cause customers.
“Unfortunately, our teams are having to dig down five metres to carry our this complex repair. This means the work could take up to two weeks to complete – but we will do what we can to complete it sooner.”
The timing of the works was chosen to avoid the Easter Bank Holiday period, after the issue was discovered last week.
