Drivers using Oxford Street in Newbury should expect delays on Wednesday 7 October and Thursday 8 October.

Thames Water is carrying out essential maintenance, and temporary two-way traffic lights will control traffic while the work is done.

Pavements will stay open, so people on foot will not be affected.

Drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys or to use another route. The times of the work on each day have not been published.

Details of planned roadworks across the area are on the one.network roadworks map.
