It was closed between Garsington Road and the Fern Hill Road junction yesterday (October 2) and will reopen on Friday (October 6). 

A Thames Water spokesperson said: “We are carrying out a repair to a sewer pipe on Hollow Way Road.

"A section of the road will be closed during this time so our engineers can complete the repair and for the safety of pedestrians and motorists.
