When a Worcester News reporter was at the site this morning they saw cars turning around after reaching the roadworks.

Severn Trent Water has been contacted for comment.

Meanwhile a second sign advertising Worcestershire Highway work, being carried out by contractors Ringway, is being displayed at the end of the street at the junction with Shaw Street.

That reads: "This road will be closed here on November 5 for one day.

"Delays possible."

Steven King, repair and maintenance team manager at Severn Trent Water, said: "Our works on Farrier Street were scheduled for October 29, however due to emergency works and unforeseen circumstances this job had to be rescheduled to this week and are now completed. 

“The road surface will be reinstated with everything back to normal as quickly as possible.

"We’d like to offer our apologies for any inconvenience caused while we completed these works.”
