LANE closures have continued in New Road despite the completion of a flood alleviation scheme.

Worcestershire County Council said there will continue to be occasional short term single lane closures in New Road, Worcester, so minor works can be carried out.

The right turn from Hylton Road onto New Road will also remain shut for approximately two weeks to enable workers to create a new access to Cripplegate Park.

The council finished raising a 200-metre stretch of New Road on May 16.

The work was supposed to have ended on May 7, however poor weather conditions and other unforeseen issues caused delays.
