PEOPLE have been warned that a water leak has closed a road in Worcester for emergency roadworks to take place.

Fort Royal Hill, off Wyld's Lane, has been closed so that Severn Trent Water can fix a water leak.

The closure came into force this morning (Wednesday) at just after 7.30am and is scheduled to last until Friday, March 22 at 4pm.

The path has been closed but a walkway will be in place.

Worcestershire Highways has warned that delays are likely in the area because of the road closure.
