Roadworks in your area

We’ve been carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in the A418, Aylesbury Road area of Buckinghamshire. 

Our engineers have worked as safely and as quickly as possible and have successfully stopped the gas leak. To minimise the risk of any future disruption, we have taken the decision to replace this section of old iron pipework with new, more reliable, polyethylene pipe. This investment will help ensure the continued delivery of a safe and reliable gas supply to the local community for many decades to come. 

To keep local people safe while we do this, traffic lights are in place along Aylesbury Road, near Mill Cottages. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect to complete our work and reopen the road early next week.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding while we complete this essential work

Update: Thursday 15 October

We are continuing to carry out urgent repairs to our gas network near the junction of London Road and Manor Royal.

To do this safely, the southbound carriageway of the A23 London Road (Gatwick to Crawley direction) is now closed. Signed diversion routes are in place. 

To allow residents to continue accessing their homes, part of the normally southbound carriageway has been temporarily changed to a two-way route for resident access only. Residents can leave their properties and travel towards Tushmore Roundabout. When returning home, drivers should follow the signed route via Crawley Avenue and Tushmore Lane before rejoining the A23 and travelling back to their properties. 

We had planned to put this closure in place earlier; however, we delayed the closure while we made arrangements to maintain access for residents.We would like to thank residents for their patience while we did this. 

Our teams are working as quickly and safely as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum. We cannot yet confirm when the road will reopen, but we will share further updates as soon as they are available. 

We apologise for the inconvenience and thank everyone for their continued understanding.

Update: Wednesday 14 October

We're currently working to repair a damaged gas main in the southbound carriageway of the A23 London Road (Gatwick towards Crawley). 

To do this safely, we will need to fully close the southbound carriageway from approximately 7pm this evening. The northbound carriageway (Crawley towards Gatwick) will remain open throughout the works. 

Traffic travelling south towards Crawley will be able to continue as far as Manor Royal before following a signed diversion route via Gatwick Road and Crawley Avenue. Vehicles leaving Manor Royal will still be able to turn right towards Gatwick but will not be able to turn left onto the southbound A23. 

Based on our current assessment, the southbound carriageway is expected to remain closed until early next week. We will continue to provide updates as work progresses. 

We recognise the impact this closure will have on local journeys and are working as quickly and safely as possible to complete the repair and reopen the road.

We're continuing to carry out emergency work in the Holyrood Road area of Edinburgh. To do this safely, we need to close Holyrood Road between its junctions with Dumbiedykes Road and Hutton Road.

The road closure will come into force on Thursday 22 October and will remain in place until the works are completed. Clearly signed diversion routes will be in place.
Access to Gentles Entry will be maintained via temporary traffic lights from Holyrood Gate.

We're sorry for any disruption these essential works may cause, and we will keep people updated here and on social media.

Update: Tuesday 13 October, 6pm

Earlier this afternoon, we were called to reports of a gas escape in the Holyrood Road area of Edinburgh.

Following our investigations, we are now carrying out repairs to a section of our network.

Due to the location of the pipe in the road, and for everyone’s safety around this work, we have installed temporary five-way traffic lights in Holyrood Road at its junctions with Dumbiedykes Road, Gentle’s Entry and Hutton Road.

We apologise for any delays this essential work may cause. People travelling by road to Dynamic Earth, the Palace of Holyrood or the Scottish Parliament are advised to use alternative routes.

Tuesday 13 October

We’re carrying out emergency repairs to our network in the Thornhill Road area of Falkirk.

To keep local people safe while we do this, we have closed Thornhill Road at its junctions with Etna Road and Mandela Avenue. A diversion route is clearly signposted.

While we do everything we can to minimise disruption on busy roads such as this, we would advise motorists to leave more time to travel, and to take alternative routes if at all possible.

For everyone's safety, Church Road is closed to northbound motorists between Ringwood Road and Wimborne Road East. A signed diversion is in place for affected road users.

It's too early to say how long this closure will need to be in place, but we're doing everything we can to complete this essential work as soon as we can. We understand how disruptive this road closure will be. However, replacing this section of gas main will help avoid further repairs carried out at short notice.

Update: Saturday 29 August, 12.39pm

Unfortunately, we have temporarily closed Oxford Road in Bagley Wood, Kennington, to undertake emergency repair works. The road is closed at its junction with Bagley Wood Road.

We’re aware this is a busy route and are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. The closure is necessary to ensure everyone’s safety while these essential works are carried out.

A signed diversion is in place via the A34. Local diversions are also in place via Sugworth Lane and Kennington Road.

Our engineers expect to complete a temporary repair to the gas main today. Due to the condition of the pipe, a section of the gas main will then need to be replaced.

These urgent replacement works are expected to continue into next week, and we will provide a further update on reopening Oxford Road once we have confirmed the timescales. We would like to thank the local community for its continued patience and support.

Monday 19 October

We're carrying out emergency repairs to our network on the B779 near the Eglinton Interchange in Kilwinning.  

To do this safely, we need to close the B779 at its junction with the A78. Westbound motorists travelling along the A78 will not be able to exit onto the B779, and should instead use the Eglinton Interchange exit. Diversion signs will be in place. 

It's too early to say how long our work will take, but our engineers will be working as safely and as quickly as possible to make the repair. We're sorry for any disruption this work might cause, and we appreciate peoples patience and understanding while carry out this essential repair. 

Updated - 2.15pm, Friday 16 October

We've now completed both phases of engineering work in Waterloo Road. Our engineers replaced the section of leaking old iron pipework with new, more reliable, plastic pipe to ensure the continued delivery of a safe and reliable gas supply to the local community for many decades to come.

It follows a leak outside The Old Vic back in September which led to the evacuation of some nearby buildings.

We're now working to restore the surfaces we've disturbed to repair our leak and replace our pipes. Waterloo Road remains closed to motorists in both directions while our reinstatement process continues. A signed diversion route is in place for affected road users.

All being well, the road will be safe to reopen on Sunday evening (18 October). Footpath resurfacing will continue into next week but pedestrian access will be maintained.

We fully appreciate the inconvenience that road and lane closures cause the local community and visitors to the area, and would like to thank everyone for their continued patience and understanding. We remain committed to completing the works as quickly and safely as possible.

Update: Tuesday 13 October, 5pm

We're working to investigate a gas escape near Sutton Valence Primary School. 

For everyone’s safety around our work area, we need to install a temporary road closure to carry out repairs. This is scheduled to be in place from 6.30pm this evening.

It’s too early to say how long this work will take but we’ll provide updates here.

Updated Tuesday 20 October

We’re continuing emergency repairs to our gas network on Crieff Road in Perth.

To keep everyone safe while this work takes place, Crieff Road remains closed between Collinson View and Feus Road. A signed diversion route is in place.

Our engineers have now completed repairs to the gas main on the railway bridge. This has been a complex job, requiring excavation through a substantial concrete structure and work in challenging conditions.

We’re now beginning the process of restoring the road surface. This is a detailed process which involves working with specialists to ensure the bridge remains structurally sound and that the road is reinstated to the required standards.

Subject to any unforeseen issues, we expect to complete this work and safely reopen the road by the end of next week.

We’d like to thank local residents and road users for their continued patience while we complete these essential repairs.

Update Thursday 10 September

We're pleased to say that our engineers have completed the repair work and the road at Mapledurham will reopen this afternoon. We will return on Monday next week to replace a section of our gas main at this location to avoid the need for emergency repairs involving a road closure in the future.

We always work closely with the local highways authority to put the most suitable diversion routes in place during road closures. We recognise that some motorists, including heavy goods vehicles, did not follow the official diversion, and we’re genuinely sorry for the disruption and inconvenience this caused.

Update Friday 04 September 15:00

Unfortunately, we have found a further leak along the A4074 and have had to close the Road at Mapledurham to undertake the emergency repairs.

We’re aware this is a busy route and are very sorry for the inconvenience caused. The closure is needed to keep the public and our engineers safe while we carry out the essential works.

A signed diversion is in place for all road users, and we would kindly encourage people to plan ahead and leave additional time to travel.

Access to the event at The Caversham Golf Course will be maintained from the Reading side, heading North, but there will be no access from Reading Road heading south. Again, a diversion route will be clearly signposted.

Our engineers are working around the clock, as quickly as possible to make a repair, but we do not yet know how long this work will take. We’re sorry for the inconvenience this road closure will cause, but it is essential that we fix the issue to keep the gas flowing safely and reliably.

Update: Friday 28 August, 12.50pm

Following good progress with our emergency repair work, we can confirm that the A4074 at Mapledurham will reopen as planned at 4pm today.

Once the road reopens, two-way temporary traffic lights will be in place to allow us to safely complete the repair. To help minimise disruption, the lights will be manually controlled during peak travel periods.

At this stage, it's too early to say how long the temporary traffic lights will remain in place, but we'll continue to monitor progress and provide updates here.

The work may still affect people travelling to Reading Festival campsites. You can find the latest travel advice on the Traffic Updates section on the Reading Festival app or on the Travel Information section of their website.

We apologise for the disruption and thank everyone for their continued understanding as we complete these essential repairs.

Urgent gas main replacement – Temporary Traffic Lights on A4047, Chazey Heath, Mapledurham, Reading

From Monday 14 September for approximately thirteen weeks, SGN specialist contractors I&G Contractors Limited will start work to replace the gas main from approximately 120m north of the junction with Rokeby Drive to The Pack Saddle/within The Club at Mapledurham 

This replacement has been panned with urgency following the recent emergency gas escapes, replacing the old metal pipe with a new plastic pipe will ensure we can continue to provide residents and businesses with a safe and efficient gas supply and avoid further disruptive emergency gas leaks in the future. 

Due to the location of the gas pipes in the road, we will need to traffic management measures in place.  We have planned these works in the following phases: we will provide regular updates on progress and timelines for phases.   

Phase one:   starting Monday 14 September, working from approximately 120m north off Rokeby Drive to Rokeby Drive

Traffic Management:  three-way temporary traffic lights 

Phase two: working from the junction Rokeby Drive to outside a property called Yew Tree

Traffic Management: two-way temporary traffic lights 

Phase three: working from outside a property called Yew Tree to within the Golf Club

Traffic Management: two-way temporary traffic lights 

In addition to the traffic lights we will install a side road closure on the road leading to The Saddle Pack Pub with the A4074 for the entire duration of the work.  This closure is required to avoid road closures on the A4074, this will be the location for mandatory welfare/storage.  The Saddle Pack Pub will remain open as usual; vehicle access will be via the Golf Club and will be signposted. 

A speed reduction of 20mph will be in place throughout our works area to ensure the safety of our team and the public. 

We will be working extended hours, seven days a week, with two teams on site. To help maintain traffic flow, the temporary traffic lights will be manned 12 hours a day. We would advise road users to plan ahead to avoid delays to local journeys. 

We appreciate our work will cause some disruption to residents and road users.   Please be assured that our engineers will be working as quickly and safely as possible to complete the works.

From Friday 3 July for a duration of four weeks, SGN engineers will be carrying out urgent work to replace a section of gas main on Shanklin Road from the junction of the roundabout at Canteen Road to where Shanklin Road meets Victoria Avenue.

These works have been planned with urgency due to a current gas escape – we are no longer able to complete long-term repairs, and replacement is the only permanent solution to avoid further gas escapes. 

Due to the location of the gas pipe in the road and for everyone’s safety, a temporary road closure between these junctions will be required. 

This road closure will mean: 

• No through vehicle access past the closure in either direction – signed diversion routes will be in place
• Vehicle access to properties within the closure will be maintained and the site team will liaise with properties affected to keep them informed of access arrangements
• Pedestrian and cycle access will be maintained through the closure
• Bin collection days will remain unaffected unless you are advised otherwise by your service provider
