DRIVERS are facing lengthy delays in Christchurch due to ongoing sewer repair works.

Temporary traffic lights on Barrack Road and Jumpers Road are reportedly causing queues back along Castle Lane East.

Traffic is also moving slowly in both directions on Fairmile Road and Bargates.

Wessex Water engineers are carrying out maintenance work until Friday, January 10.

Two-way traffic signals have been put in place while the work is carried out.

Jumpers Road will also be closed at its junction with Barrack Road for the duration of the repair.
