UPDATE: Thursday 13th February 2020 - Notification of Major Gas Works: A2 - High Street, Newington

Our project is progressing well, and we have completed our engineering works along Keycol Hill by the junction of Rook Lane. We have begun our process of reinstatement, for everyone’s safety while this work is carried out, temporary traffic lights remain in place around our work area.

To guarantee gas supplies to properties in the area, we needed to revise our programme of works, especially during the winter period where the gas demand increases.

From Wednesday, 19th February we'll be upgrading our network in the A2, working from Mill Lane to outside No. 97 London Road, Newington. Whilst we are replacing the old cast iron pipe with new plastic pipe, we will also be transferring two large rotary meters supplying gas to the nurseries along this section to the new main. For everyone’s continued safety, temporary two-way traffic lights will be in place around our work area for approximately five weeks. We will also need to close Mill Lane at this junction, a signed diversion will be in place for motorists and pedestrian access will be maintained.

From Monday, 6th April we’ll progress along the A2 upgrading our gas network in the High Street between Bull Lane and Wickham Close. Due to the location and size of our gas main, we need to close the A2 - High Street for approximately four weeks. Signed diversion routes will be in place for local traffic and pedestrian access will be maintained. Following consultation with Medway Council and Highways England, HGVs will be diverted via the M2 to avoid our work completely.

To minimise future disruptions, whilst we are working in the High Street, we’ll be removing an existing gas valve located in the road and relocating it to the grass verge nearby. Kent County Council is also speaking to all utilities seeking collaborative working during our closures.

To complete our project as quickly as possible from Monday, 6th April we’ll be working simultaneous upgrading our network in Keycol Hill at Key Street roundabout. For everyone’s safety, the A2 / Keycol Hill westbound lane will be reduced and restricted to access only for smaller vehicles and deliveries. All other motorists will need to follow the signed diversion route in place. We would encourage all commuters to please, plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey.

We’re continuing to plan the future phases of our work in consultation with Kent County Council. We’ll provide details of our plans once confirmed.

We appreciate your understanding and patience while we carry out essential gas mains replacement work. All being well we plan to complete our necessary upgrades by the end of the school summer holidays.
