A SECTION of Dalton Lane in Keighley will be closed to traffic from next Monday (July 1) for sewer repairs.

Yorkshire Water, which is working on the scheme with service partner Avove, says an area near the Fruit Street junction will be shut for around a fortnight.

A diversion route will be in place.

A Yorkshire Water spokesperson says: "Due to the depth of the sewer and complexity of the repair, a road closure is required to ensure our partners can complete the work safely.

"We apologise for the inconvenience the closure will cause. We'll be working as quickly as possible to complete the repairs.

"Our partners are communicating with local businesses to provide details of the closure and the nature of the work. Access will be maintained to all businesses in the area and we’re doing everything we can to reduce any disruption while the work is ongoing."
