I have just received notofication that part pf the Oxford Road between Alma Street and St Georges Road will be closed from 8 am on Saturday morning. Closure will be from 8am until 8pm everyday until repairs have been completed - this could take up to two weeks.
The emails reads:
Thames Water has discovered a section of
damaged sewer 3.5m under Oxford
Road, outside The Albion PH, between Alma Street and St Georges Road. As
well as the damage to the pipe and the blockages/customer flooding issues that
this is causing, they have discovered large voids under the carriageway. The
recent heavy rain will have worsened the voids, which pose a risk to the
structural integrity of the carriageway surface.
There will be signed diversions and Reading Buses have anounced their diversions here:

The road surface will be monitored until the closure begins.
