Leicester Road to close for two weeks for bridge flooding repairs

Leicester Road will close for two weeks starting February 17 to address flooding issues under Blaby Bridge. The work involves replacing gullies and will require full closure of the road, with diversions for drivers and bus services. Bus services will be rerouted, with Arriva unable to serve Glen Parva during the first week. The diversion will add about 25 minutes to travel times for some routes. Pedestrian access will remain open throughout the closure. The project aims to be completed quickly, but delays may occur due to weather or unforeseen issues.
