DELAYS are expected on the A38 Main Road in Kempsey.

Severn Trent Water began work today to connect a new property to the water supply and manually-controlled temporary traffic lights are in place.

The works are due to be completed by Friday, February 27.

A spokeswoman for Severn Trent Water said: “We have started work to connect a new property to our water supply.

“We expect the work to all be finished by next Friday (February 27) but we’ll be working as quickly as possible to get the work completed sooner.

“To keep local road users and our team safe, we’ll have to use temporary traffic lights that we’ll manually control during busy times of the day to keep traffic flowing.

“We hope this work doesn’t cause too much disruption to the local area and apologise for any inconvenience.”
