Road closed after sewer collapse in Locks Heath with repair work set to take three weeks

Fareham Borough Council have announced that Brook Lane has been shut between Peters Road and the Brook Lane/Lockswood Road roundabout in Locks Heath.

Repair is set to take up to three weeks and began at 9am today.

A diversion route is in place via Peters Road, the council have said.

Council leader Sean Woodward announced the road closure on Facebook.

He wrote: ‘Southern Water has another collapsed sewer – this time on Brook Lane. As a result it is going to be necessary to close Brook Lane between Peters Road and the Brook Lane/Lockswood Road roundabout.

‘A signed diversion, via Peters Road, will be in place and the works will commence at 9.30am 05/12/19 for up to 3 weeks.

‘Best advice for the Brookfield School run that must be by car is park in Holly Hill Leisure Centre or Locks Heath Shopping Village and walk.’
