Warning over works closing town road for weeks

The affected road runs past houses, a church and a school

A busy road in a Nottinghamshire town is set to be shut for more than a month for infrastructure work.

Boundary Road in Newark is due to be closed from Monday morning until 16 May for the installation of a new connection to the water mains.

The affected stretch of the road runs from Albert Street to Victoria Street.

There will be a diversion in place along Portland Street.

The affected road runs alongside Holy Trinity Catholic Church and Holy Trinity Catholic Academy.

A Severn Trent spokesperson said: "A team will be working on Boundary Road, installing a new connection for a customer.

"Due to the location of the pipe and to keep everyone safe it will be necessary for us to complete these works under a road closure.

"A signposted diversion will be in place throughout and we'll be working hard to get everything back to normal as quickly as possible.

"We'd like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience while we complete these works."
