We’re carrying out gas main replacement work in Rownhams Lane, North Baddesley.
We're sorry for the delays in completing phase one of these works and assure you of our commitment to completing the rest of this project without any further delays.
The following provides a quick overview of the remaining work:
Phase one – will be complete by Friday 31 May
We will have completed the gas main replacement on Rownhams Lane from Botley Road to the junction of Dunnings Lane. The temporary one-way directional lane closure will be lifted by the end of Friday 31 May.
Phase two – from Monday 3 June to Wednesday 24 July
Following feedback received, the team have replanned phase two to reduce the size of our work area so traffic lights can be used instead of a one-way directional lane closure.
We appreciate how disruptive this closure and diversion route has been for the community, in particular, the impact to buses and services as a result.
We’ll be working on Rownhams Lane from the junction of Firgrove Road to the junction of Dunnings Lane. For everyone’s safety, temporary traffic lights will be used around our work areas.
To make sure we can complete our project and be off the road by Wednesday 24 July, we have extended working patterns to include weekend working (where fatigue rules allow). We have also committed to a minimum of two teams working on-site until our work is completed.
Buses
We advise passengers to please check with their service provider ahead of travelling for the latest update on changes to bus services.
There are genuine reasons the site, at times, may not have a visible presence of workforce – these may include when the road is being reinstated and the surface is curing, off-site visits to check local pipe pressures, health and safety procedures or mandatory requirements around engineer fatigue hours.
