Bracknell

Bracknell Forest Borough Council is advising motorists to try to avoid the southbound A322 Bagshot Road in Bracknell due to the closure of one lane this afternoon.

One lane of the southbound dual carriageway opposite the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant has been closed due a fault with an electricity cable underneath the road.

Engineers from Scottish & Southern Energy are working to repair the fault.

The lane closure is expected to cause some traffic congestion at peak travel times.

Scottish & Southern Energy estimate the work may take some days to complete and the lane is expected to remain closed until Friday morning to allow time to resurface the affected area.

Motorists are asked to bear this in mind when planning journeys to, from and within Bracknell over the next few days.
