Emergency Road Closure Woodcote Way , outside no 88
I’ve received the message below from Reading Borough Council this morning:
“The Streetworks Team wish to make you aware Thames Water have informed us of the necessity to close Woodcote Way outside property number 88, with immediate effect. This is required for an ongoing investigation to establish the source of a leak, initially thought to be within the footway.
“Unfortunately the leak has worsened causing damage to the carriageway and therefore, for reasons of safety they have informed us of the Emergency Road Closure. Access can be achieved from either end of Woodcote Way, up to the point of closure.
“A Thames Water team will continue working throughout the weekend to find and repair the leak and the closure is anticipated to remain in place at least until the end of play on Monday 7th June 2021. Should the closure need to remain in place beyond this date, the Streetworks Team will provide an updating email.
“Reading Buses have been informed, in order to implement a temporary diversion for Bus services and the Emergency Services and Taxi Associations will be notified imminently.”
