TRAFFIC could back up on Wokingham roads over the next month as electrical works go ahead.
Scottish and South Electricity Networks (SSEN) is beginning its second phase of a £3m programme of upgrades in the Wokingham Borough on July 24.
In a bid to meet increasing demands in Early, Winnersh and Aborfield and to reduce the risk of power cuts, duct and power cables will be installed.
Excavation works are due to go ahead in the following roads on the following dates:
• 24 July to 18 August – Nightingale Road
• 24 July to 24 August – Wokingham Road (at the junction of Loddon Bridge Road to Sutcliffe Avenue)
• 17 August to 31 August – Dartington Avenue
• 23 August to 8 September – Clivedale Road
• 25 August to 12 September – Coppice Road
Project manager David Zirpins said: “This latest phase sees the reinforcement of existing power supplies, with future-proofing along the same route and this will require excavations on some streets during the works.
"As with all streetwork excavations, some disruption is unavoidable and SSEN would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience that may cause.
“We will, of course, do all we can to minimise the disruption and will reinstate the road excavations once the works have been completed."
