Emergency roadworks on a busy A-road have been extended.

A section of the A480, between Credenhill Park Dairy and Stretton Court Farm, Credenhill, is closed due to a burst water main.

Welsh Water is handling the emergency closure while repairs are made.

The roadworks have now been extended until Thursday, November 12.

Affected traffic is being directed along a signed diversion route via the A480, A438, A4112, and back to the A480.

Councillor Nick Mason has acknowledged the frustration caused by the closure but reassured residents that the road will be reopened on Thursday.

"The good news - I am told that the road will be reopened sometime Thursday," he said.

"Potentially first thing, but there might still be some road painting and coating to be done before they can open it, in which case it will be later on the day."

He also expressed gratitude to Sargeants for their efforts in maintaining bus services for Weobley High School.

Motorists are advised to allow extra time for their journeys.
