TRAFFIC could be delayed on a busy Oxford route for up to two days because of Thames Water works which was due to begin today.

The work was set to start this morning and carry on until Thursday to reinstate multiple services on the footpath on Botley Road.

It is due to take place outside Osney Court - though this morning it appeared as though work had not begun.

The work will replace the kerb and the edge of the footway.

It comes as work on Folly Bridge put a heavier strain on the route since it got under way last week.
