Rush hour congestion is expected when work to improve water mains will close part of County Road until Saturday 6th April. The revamp is part of Thames Water's programme of improving the flow and quality of water in the area.

County Road will close to northbound, out of town traffic from the junction of Manchester Road to Station Road. Traffic into town will be unaffected.

A diversion will be set up via Drakes Way and Ocotal Way to Transfer Bridges or via Fleming Way, Corporation Street, Manchester Road, Aylesbury Street and Station Road. Motorists are asked to avoid the area or allow extra time for their journey.
