From Monday 11 August, SGN contractors, I&G Contractors Limited, will start a programme of work to replace the gas mains along Gally Hill Road, Aldershot Road, and a section of Sandy Lane in Church Crookham.
These essential works will involve replacing an old, metal pipe with a new longer longer-lasting plastic one so that we can continue to provide businesses and the wider community with a safe and efficient gas supply.
Due to the location of the gas pipes in the roads, and for everyone’s safety, the following traffic management will be in place:
Phase one: Gally Hill Road - Monday 11 August for 14 weeks
Road closure - we’ll be starting our replacement work on Gally Hill Road, where we’ll be replacing the gas pipes between Crookham C of E School and Aldershot Road. A rolling road closure will be in place between these junctions.
This closure will mean:
- No through vehicle access between these junctions
- Resident vehicle access will be maintained, and residents will be kept informed of access arrangements as these will change as the project progresses
- Vehicle access to the Church will be maintained – access arrangements will change, and we’ll keep the Church informed
- Bus routes, including school buses, will be affected - please contact your service provider for the latest information about changes to your service
- Bin collection days will remain unchanged, unless you hear otherwise from your service provider
Phase two: Aldershot Road - Monday 6 October for 14 weeks
We’ll be working on Aldershot Road between the junctions of Gally Hill Road and Atbara Road, and multi-way traffic lights will be in operation for the duration of the work.
Remembrance Parade weekend - Friday 7 November
For Remembrance weekend, we’ll remove all road closures from Friday 7 November; they will close again on Monday 10 November.
Christmas break – the team will break for Christmas from 22 December - 5 January ’26 and traffic management will be removed for this period. The welfare unit will remain on Portland Drive, and we will return to Aldershot Road after Christmas to complete these works.
Phase three: Sandy Lane - Monday 26 January for six weeks
We will be working between the junctions of Hampton Close and Aldershot Road. Due to the width of road space available, we have no other option than to close the road between these junctions.
This closure will mean:
- No through vehicle access past the closure – a signed diversion route will be in place
- Vehicle access to properties and businesses within the closure will be maintained , and our site team will keep those affected informed about access arrangements
- Bus routes including school buses will be affected – please contact your service provider for the latest information about changes to your service
- Bin collection days will remain unaffected unless you are advised otherwise by your service provider
Portland Drive - junction closure
We will be closing Portland Road at its junction with Gally Hill Road to locate our mandatory welfare area. We have considered all other locations with Portland Drive being the only suitable location.
