Thames Water is apologising to people in Richmond as its announced work on a major route now won’t be completed until after Easter.

The northbound stretch of Hill Street has been closed off for emergency pipe repairs since the 1st of March.

But Thames water says the discovery of a high voltage cable running above the pipe and old tram lines are causing delays to work.  

Traffic coming across Richmond bridge and Petersham to the town centre will continue to be blocked until April the 11th.
