Drivers will need to travel around a Cambridge roundabout anti-clockwise during the works
“Essential” sewer works along a busy Cambridge street are set to start tomorrow (May 9) to repair a damaged sewer. Anglian Water has confirmed the “essential” overnight works on Milton Road will be in place from Saturday, May 9 until Wednesday, May 13.
The work will be carried out between 7.30pm and 5am to repair a damaged sewer. A series of specialist CCTV investigations have been carried out by Anglian Water to assess the work needed to fix the pipe.
Tankers will be positioned on the roundabout between Milton Road and Elizabeth Way. There will be temporary traffic lights placed on the roundabout during the overnight works.
Due to this, traffic from Elizabeth Way will need to travel around the roundabout anti-clockwise during the overnight working hours. The traffic lights will be removed during the day so they’re less disruptive for local residents and traffic.
Anglian Water will be using high-powered jetting machines to clean the existing sewer network and keep sewers flowing. A constant closure on part of the bus lane on Milton Road will also be put in place temporarily.
Teams for Anglian Water will be on site to guide vehicles and to keep things moving. A spokesperson for Anglian Water said: “We know this kind of work can be disruptive for the local community, so we’d like to thank residents around Milton Road for their patience while we carry out this essential repair work to keep their sewers flowing.”
