Lane closure on Shaw Lane Roundabout, Doncaster, DN2 4RW, for Yorkshire Water works

There is currently a lane closure on Shaw lane Roundabout between the junction of Wheatley Hall Road and Thorne Road heading West, whilst Yorkshire Water completes a sewer repair in the area.

The closure is in place to keep colleagues and road users safe. It is expected to be in place for 7-8 weeks.

A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said: “We know that this will be disruptive, and thank everyone in advance for their patience. Unfortunately, there is a collapse in the sewer that needs repairing. In order to complete the work, we need to excavate to a depth of seven metres, which means that the work will be more complicated and take longer than a standard repair.”

A diversion is in place for HGVs, which are unable to turn right at the roundabout when entering from Ogden Road.
