The work had initially been expected to start on Tuesday (October 10) evening and run until Thursday closing the road between 8pm and 6am.

However, this has since been updated according to the One.Network.

The diversion takes drivers on a 0.7-mile diversion on the Whitchurch Bypass and Heath Road.
