THE busy Culmore Road in Derry is to be reduced to one lane for one week to allow for sewer maintenance.
NI Water will be undertaking sewer maintenance work along with contractor Quinn Automatic.
The work is expected to take seven days to complete.
These works are earmarked to start this Sunday, August 19.
The work will involve structural repairs and the replacement of an existing cover on a Combined Sewer Overflow chamber, which is in poor condition.
NI Water say that in order to carry out the work safely, it will be necessary to have a lane closure in place on the Culmore Road during the works.
However, normal traffic flow will be maintained, with one lane remaining open in each direction at all times.
Vehicular access for residents will be maintained and pedestrian access will be available at all times.
Parking restrictions will be in place around the working area. Working hours will be, Sunday 8.00am to 5.00pm and Monday to Friday 8.00am to 8.00.pm
But it may be necessary at times for work to be undertaken outside of these hours.
NI Water and Quinn Automatic thanked the public for their patience and cooperation while they carry out this essential maintenance work.
They add that they will do everything they can to keep all disruption to a minimum.
Customer queries should be directed to Waterline on 03457 440088.
