We last reported similar work in March, which at the time involved temporary three-way lights. And traffic lights reappeared at the same spot briefly on July 24. Southern Water has apologised "that this has been necessary".

Update 10/9/25: It's understood as of today that the work is expected to take a further five to six weeks to repair.
