From Monday 7 April to Sunday 20 April, we'll be replacing a section of our gas main in East Street in Littlehampton. These essential works involve replacing the old metal gas pipe with new plastic pipe to ensure we can continue to provide a safe and efficient gas supply and avoid disruptive gas escapes in the future.
Our engineers will be replacing the gas main in East Street between the roundabout at Fitzalan Road to just past the junction with Paterson Wilson Road.
Due to the location of the gas pipe in the road, we'll need to temporarily close the road between these two junctions for the duration of the work.
This temporary closure will mean:
- No through access for vehicles in either direction past the closure.
- No vehicle access to East Street from the roundabout.
- Vehicle access to properties within the closure, Paterson Wilson Road, the police station and the care home will be maintained. Our site team will keep those affected informed about their access arrangements.
- Bin collection days will remain unchanged unless you hear otherwise from your service provider.
- The official signed diversion route will be East Street, Horsham Road, Worthing Road, Wick Street, Arundel Road, Franciscan Way and vice versa.
- Bus routes may be affected – we advise passengers to speak to your service provider for the latest updates.
We understand how disruptive this road closure may be for road users and local residents - the team will be working as quickly and as safely as they can to complete these works without delay.
We’re sorry for any inconvenience these works may cause and thank you for your patience and understanding.
