EMERGENCY repairs on a crumbling Bracknell road this evening (Thursday, January 21), will see rush-hour traffic restricted to one single lane this evening.

A Facebook status from Bracknell Forest Council reads: "The A322 Bagshot Road (northbound towards Bracknell) will remain restricted to a single lane into this evening's rush hour.

"This is due to an unexpected failure of the carriageway which must be repaired for safety reasons. 

"The length affected is between the Swinley Bottom Roundabout (junction with the A332) and the Coral Reef junction.

"Delays should be expected and the public are asked to find alternative routes wherever possible."
