Villagers can expect to experience roadworks for several months as work is soon expected to start on the replacement of aging water pipes in the area. The first phase of Severn Trent's £2.4million project in Keyworth will begin on Station Road, close to the railway bridge, on January 23.
The work to replace the water pipes in the area will be carried out in four phases and it will progress along Station Road towards Nicker Hill. It is expected that the project will be completed by mid-July.
The first phase will last four weeks and each following phase will last five weeks, beginning on February 20, March 27 and May 1. Although work will not begin until the end of this month, Severn Trent engineers may be seen in the fields nearby from January 9 as they make preparations.
