We’re investing £750,000 to upgrade the gas network along the A814 in Shandon, from Faslane to Rhu.
This critical work will begin on Monday 8 September and last for approximately seven months.
We’re replacing 5.3km of old metallic gas mains with modern plastic pipe to continue to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply to surrounding homes and businesses.
Our project has been planned in close consultation with Argyll and Bute Council and will involve the use of temporary traffic lights in the A814 at various stages. Whenever they’re used, the lights will be manually controlled between 6am to 5pm.
Our work will begin on Monday 8 September in Maidstone Road, at the south gate of HMNB Clyde in Faslane. Two-way temporary lights will be in place at this location.
Over the next seven months we’ll progress southwards along Maidstone Road and then the A814 for three miles to the A814 Gareloch Road’s junction with Rhu Pier.
Temporary lights will be needed in the following locations along Maidstone Road and the A814:
- 2-way lights – Maidstone Road (south access gate to HMNB Clyde in
- Faslane)
- 2-way lights – A814 near the Peace Camp
- 2-way lights – A814, from opposite Oakbank Cottage to The Briars
- 2-way lights – A814 at Croy
