Summarised from BBC Leicester's report · Updated 17 Oct, 13:50 · Archive

Welford Road near Grimsby Fisheries in Leicester will close for five days from Monday, October 19, for sewer repairs.

Welford Road in Leicester will close in the outbound direction from Monday, October 19, for five days to allow Severn Trent Water to carry out sewer repairs. The 24-hour closures will impact the outbound carriageway at Greenhill Road, whilst lorries will be diverted from Victoria Park Road owing to insufficient turning space beyond that point.

Road closures will remain in place throughout the works to ensure the safety of workers and the public. Drivers will be diverted at Victoria Park Road on to Queens Road, Knighton Road and Chapel Lane, returning to Welford Road beyond the closure. Severn Trent said it is "a busy route" and asked for residents, businesses and road users to plan their journeys accordingly.
