Update: 18 July 2025
Phase one: A248 Kings Road
Due to engineering challenges, we’ve been unable to complete upgrades of our pipework along Kings Road between the junctions of A281 Horsham Road and Station Road (next to Shalford Common). This work will be replanned, and we’ll advise new dates as soon as we are able to proceed.
Phase two: A281 Horsham Road/The Street
Our traffic lights will be removed on Thursday 17 July. We’ve a small amount of work to complete here without traffic lights but we’ll be finished by Tuesday 22 July
Phase three - Kings Road/Christmas Hill
We’ll be starting this phase of the project from Wednesday 23 July. This will begin at the junction with Station Road, next to Shalford Common. We’ll be using two-way lights for the first two weeks of our work.
Following this section of work, for everyone’s safety, on Monday 4 August we’ll need to reinstall our road closure to finish upgrading our pipes to the junction with B2128 Wonersh Common. Work is expected to be completed by Sunday 31 August
Original post
We’re upgrading the gas network in Shalford. This work will ensure a continued safe and reliable supply of gas is delivered to nearby homes and businesses and is part of our 30-year programme of work to replace our old mains, with new reliable plastic pipe.
Our contractor, I&G Contracting, who are completing this project on our behalf, will be starting work on this project in the week beginning Monday 31 March.
A248 Kings Road phase one
From Monday 31 March until Thursday 17 April
To reduce future disruption, we’ll be replacing our gas pipes alongside Surrey County Council engineers as they carry out their work on the Shalford Traffic Calming Scheme. For everyone’s safety, Kings Road will be closed at the junction with A281 Horsham Road.
A281 Horsham Road/The Street
From Monday 12 May for approximately ten weeks
We’ll be working along the A281 from the junction with Dagley Lane to outside St Marys Church. To keep everyone safe around our work, we’ll be using temporary traffic lights. We know this is a busy road, so we’ll be working extended hours and manually controlling the traffic lights between 7am and 7pm.
A248 Kings Road/Christmas Hill Phase 2
From Monday 21 July for approximately six weeks
We'll return to complete our remaining work to upgrade our gas pipes along Kings Road and Christmas Hill to the junction of B2128 Wonersh Common. For everyone’s safety, a rolling closure will be in place around our work area as we move along the road.
Signed diversions will be in place for affected motorists where roads are closed. Access will be kept for residents and businesses where it is safe to do so.
We understand roadworks can be frustrating and we’re sorry for any disruption caused by our work.
