UPDATE from SGN - Gas Network Upgrade in A2/High Street, Newington - Wednesday 22nd April
We are continuing to replace our old gas mains with new plastic pipe along the A2, Newington to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply.
Stakeholder and Community Manager
I’m pleased to share we have completed our phase of work in the High Street earlier than planned. To minimise future disruptions for the local community we collaborated with Kent County Council allowing them to carry out resurfacing works within our temporary road closure. They’ve now completed their project and we will be able to safely reopen the High Street to local traffic and smaller vehicles by tomorrow afternoon.
Our engineers continue to upgrade our network in Keycol Hill at Key Street roundabout. For everyone’s safety the A2/Keycol Hill westbound lane remains reduced and restricted to access only for smaller vehicles and deliveries. All other motorists will need to follow the signed diversion route in place.
The official diversion route for HGV’s remains in place via A2, A249 > M2 > Hoath Way > A2. We would encourage all commuters to please, plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey.
We continue to plan further phases of our work in consultation with Kent County Council. We’ll provide details of our plans once confirmed. Updates about our project can be found on our dedicated page at sgn.co.uk
We would like to thank residents, businesses and road users for their continued patience and understanding while we carry out this essential work.
If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Kind regards
