We will shortly start our process of reinstating the road following our engineering work being completed. For everyone’s safety while this work is carried out, temporary traffic lights will remain in place around our work area.
We expect to complete our whole replacement project and safely remove our traffic lights from site by Friday 21st June, 10 weeks ahead of schedule.
After close consultation with the local authorities and the community, our project began at the end of September 2019 and was expected to last 12 months. However, several contributing factors meant that we’ve been able to progress quicker than expected with our upgrade project.
For example, our engineers were able to use a new insertion technique allowing greater lengths of new plastic pipe to be inserted, and our teams were able to work simultaneously on different phases. Working closely with the local authority, and how they accommodated our needs for a full road closure, allowed us to speed up our progress further.
We would like to thank residents, traders, shoppers and road users for their continued patience and understanding while we’ve carried out this essential work to ensure the local community can enjoy the benefits of a safe and reliable gas supply for many years to come.
Please feel free to share this information with anyone you think may be impacted by our work.
If you have any further queries please let me know.
Kind regards
