Long Lane on the outskirts of Newport has been closed this morning (Friday) from outside Long Lane Cottage for a distance of 892.00 metres in a westerly direction.
The closure is to allow Openreach to access to overhead poles and cables to urgently replace a damaged telegraph pole to restore customers’ service.
The road closure will be in place for 1 day between the hours of 09:30 and 15:30.
The diversion will affect these streets: Long Lane, Briddlesford Road, Whiterails Road and Staplers Road.
Diversion route(s) will be signed at the time of closure. Reasonable facilities will be provided to allow access to adjacent premises while the road is closed.
From 09:30 hours on 22nd January 2021, for a maximum period of twenty-one days or until the works are complete, whichever is sooner.
