Ashley Heath, Woolsbridge Road

From Monday 18 November until Friday 11 July 2025, we'll replace the gas main along Woolsbridge Road in Ashley Heath.

These essential works involve replacing old metal gas pipes with new plastic pipes to ensure we can continue to provide a safe and efficient gas supply to the local community.

Due to the location of the gas main in the road and for everyone's safety, we’ll need to have temporary traffic measures in place.

Throughout the entire programme of work, vehicle access to properties within the closure areas will be maintained - the team on site will keep residents informed about local arrangements.

 

Phase one

Road closed from Monday 18 November to Friday 20 December

We’ll be working between the junction of the A31 Ringwood Road to the junction with Laurel Lane. For everyone's safety, we’ll need to have a full temporary road closure in place. This will mean no through vehicle access along Woolsbridge Road in either direction past these two junctions.

 

Phases two to seven 

We'll be working along Woolsbridge Road in sections as detailed below.

To maintain traffic flow around our work area, Woolsbridge Road will be made one way temporarily and traffic will only be able to travel along Woolsbridge Road in a northbound direction. This means vehicles will need to enter Woolsbridge Road from the A31 end of the road only – southbound traffic will not be possible.

We'll be progressing along Woolsbridge Road in phases as below:  

  • Phase two – from the junction of Horton Road to south of Ashley Drive West
  • Phase three – from the junction of Ashley Drive West to Hill Way
  • Phase four – from the junction of Hill Way to Gainsborough Road
  • Phase five – from the Junction of Gainsborough Road to Sandy Lane
  • Phase six – from the junction of Sandy Lane to Pine Drive
  • Phase seven – from the junction of Pine Drive to Laurel Lane

Bus routes will be affected – we advise passengers to contact your service provider for the latest changes to service and diversions.

Bin collection days will remain unchanged unless you hear otherwise from the service provider.

We know road closures are disruptive for local communities and residents and can assure you we'll be doing all we can to complete these essential works without delay.

We’re sorry for any inconvenience these works may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
