A ROAD closure has been put in place in Ryde from 7am today (Wednesday), for Southern Water to carry out repairs to a burst water main.

Park Road will be closed from its junction with St John's Wood Road to its junction with West Hill Road for a distance of 86 metres.

Diversion routes have been signed from the time of closure. Reasonable facilities will be provided to allow access to adjacent premises while the road is closed.

The closure will be in place for a maximum period of five days or until work is complete, whichever is sooner.
