Highway crews from Hampshire County Council will be undertaking ‘surface treatment’ on the road from Upper Northam Road to Charles Watts Way.

These works are planned for May 23 to June 6 and footways will be unaffected during these works.

A diversion route has been put in place by the council which directs drivers to Grange Road, through the Maypole Roundabout and up Lower Northam Road.
