Planned work

Road closures – gas main reinforcement Shirburn Road and Shirburn Street, Watlington

From Monday 2 June, SGN contractors will commence a programme of work to install a new gas main on Shirburn Road and Shirburn Street in Watlington. These essential works will ensure we can continue to maintain a safe and efficient gas supply to the community with the increasing demand for gas in the area.

Due to the location of the gas main in the road, for everyone’s safety we’ll need to have road closures in place in the following phases.

Phase one – Monday 2 June for nine weeks

We’ll be working on Shirburn Street from the junction of High Street to the junction of Love Lane – a road closure will be in place between these junctions.

Vehicle access to properties and businesses within the closure will be maintained – the site team will keep residents informed about their access arrangements.
Vehicle access to Love Lane will be maintained from Shirburn Road (north of closure) – this includes school buses access to Love Lane.

Urgent closure - Hill Road with Shirburn Road from Monday 16 June for five days

Following camera surveys, the gas main on Shirburn Road diverts across the junction of Hill Road. To enable us to complete a vital connection, we will need to close the junction of Hill Road and Shirburn Road.

No vehicle access in or out of Hill Road at the junction with Shirburn Road.
Traffic from Hill Road will be diverted via Spring Lane.
Spring Lane will be made availabe to two-way traffic for the duration of the closure to maintain access for residents of Hill Road.
To manage traffic flow, three-way traffic lights will be located at the junction of Spring Lane and Ingham Lane / Brook Street B480.
On-street parking will be suspended outside properties on Brook Street located near the temporary traffic lights. This is to avoid congestion of traffic at this location, which could cause access difficulties.

Phase two – Monday 28 July for six weeks

We’ll be working on Shirburn Road from the junction of Love Lane to outside property number 82 – a road closure will be in place between these junctions.

Vehicle access to properties and businesses within the closure will be maintained – the site team will keep residents informed about their access arrangements.
Vehicle access to Love Lane will be maintained from Shirburn Street.

What both these closures will mean:

No through vehicle access past the closures in either direction – signed diversion routes will be in place.
Bin collection days will remain unchanged unless you hear otherwise from your service provider.
Bus routes will be affected; we’d advise passengers to speak to their service provider for the latest information on changes to service and diversions.
School buses – during phase one, school buses can access Love Lane via the north side of the closure on Shirburn Street - for the south side of the closure, buses will be picking up / dropping from High Street by Chapel Street.

Watlington Fair – to support the community, the road closures will be removed for the Watlington Fair on 28 June 2025. The closure will be removed by the end of the day on Friday, 28th June, and reinstalled on Monday, 30th June.

We appreciate road closures are disruptive for residents and the wider community; we assure you the team will be working as quickly and as safely as possible to complete these essential works.

If you need to speak to us regarding these works, you can contact our Customer Service Team on 0800 912 1700 or email them at Customer@sgn.co.uk; they will be able to direct your enquiry to a member of the team for response.

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

Monday 9 June - Station Road, Hailsham

From Monday 9 June SGN specialist contractor, I&G Contractors Limited, will be working to upgrade the gas network on Station Road, Hailsham. The work will be ongoing for approximately 8 weeks.

These essential works will involve replacing an old, metal pipe with new longer-lasting plastic one so that we can continue to provide businesses, and wider community, with a safe and efficient gas supply.

Due to the location of the gas pipes in the road, and for everyone’s safety, various traffic management will be in place which include:

From Monday 9 June for 4 Weeks -a road closure on Bell Banks Road, between the junctions of Station Road and Garfield Road.
Between 23 June - 1 August, temporary traffic lights will also be in place on Station Road.

During the road closure, the following will apply:

No through vehicle access along Bell Banks Road, between the junctions of Station Road and Garfield Road -a local diversion route will be in place.
Resident vehicle access to properties will be maintained and our site team will keep those affected informed of access arrangements.
Bus routes may be affected – we’d advise passengers to contact their service provider for the latest updates on changes to service.
Bin collection days will remain unaffected, unless residents hear otherwise from their service provider.

We appreciate our work, and necessary traffic management can be disruptive for local road users, and we’d like to reassure the local community that our team will be doing all they can to complete these works as safely and as quickly as possible.

If you have any specific questions regarding these works, please contact our customer service team at customer@sgn.co.uk or alternatively call 0800 912 1700.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience this work will cause, and thank local people for their patience and understanding.

Wednesday 21 May - Winter Road, Southsea

From Wednesday 21 May for a duration of approximately five weeks, our engineers will be carrying out gas main replacement on a section of Winter Road in Southsea.

This replacement work is being carried out urgently, to provide a permanent solution instead of a long-term repair.

We’ll be replacing the gas main in Winter Road from outside number 2 to outside number 20. Due to the location of the gas main in the road, it will be necessary to close Winter Road from just south of Oliver Road to the junction of Highland Road.

This closure will mean:

No through vehicle traffic past the closure in either direction in Winter Road.
Vehicle access to Winter Road north of the closure will be via a signed diversion route from the Devonshire Avenue end of the road.
Vehicle access to properties within the closure will be maintained – local arrangements will be in place and the team on site will keep residents informed.

Wednesday 9 April - Western Road, Auchterarder

From Monday 12 May, our engineers will be working in Western Road Auchterarder, to carry out upgrade work to our gas network.

Three-way temporary traffic lights will be in place for the duration of our work, which is expected to take five weeks to complete.

We know this is a bus route and will be working as quickly as possible.

Emergency gas pipe repairs

When upgrading pipes or installing a new connection, we can plan the roadworks in advance. But when safety is at stake we must respond quickly and efficiently, and this may mean having to carry out streetworks at very short notice or at night. Sometimes we have to start work before the information filters through to our map. When that happens, we’ll add that information here.

Monday 16 June - Blandford Road, Poole

We’re carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in Blandford Road Poole.

For everyone safety, we need to close Blandford Road in the eastbound direction from 5pm today between Rigler Road and Ivor Road.

Access to Poole Harbour for eastbound motorists will be affected and a signed diversion will be available via Rigler Road, Twin Sails Bridge, West Quay Road, Marston Road, West Street and Poole Lifting Bridge.

It’s too early to say how long repairs will take to complete.

Sunday 15 June - High Street, Aylesford

We're repairing our gas network following a reported leak in High Street, Aylesford.

To safely complete the required repairs to this affected pipe, we need to close the road near The Little Gem, from 10am tomorrow (Monday 16 June). A signed diversion will be in place.

Some bus services may be impacted by this closure. Please check with your provider for any updates to timetables, stops or routes.

Access for residents and to businesses located within the closure area will be maintained.

We appreciate that work of this nature is disruptive and we will complete this work as safely and quickly as possible.

Tuesday 10 June - A2 Watling Street (Marling Cross), Gravesend

We've complete urgent repairs to our gas network here and we're now working to restore the road surface to its original condition.

For everyone's ongoing safety, the hard shoulder, nearside lane, and the entry slip road to the A2 eastbound carriageway at Marling Cross, remain closed while our resurfacing work continues.

Due to the depth and quality required for a major road, this reinstatement will take some time to complete. We expect to be able to reopen all lanes from 8pm on Saturday 14 June.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

Wednesday 28 May – Weymouth Way, Weymouth

We’re continuing emergency repairs on our gas main within the nature reserve next to Weymouth Way.

Temporary two-way traffic lights remain in place on Weymouth Way between Manor Roundabout and Chafeys Roundabout for everyone’s safety. The lights are being manned from 7am to 7pm to help minimise the impact on traffic.

We've been working on repairs in challenging ground conditions in close consultation with Radipole Lake Nature Reserve. Due to the pipeline's condition, we've taken a difficult strategic decision to replace 150 metres of this pipeline which is an important asset supplying thousands of domestic and non-domestic properties.

Specialist fitting are being delivered to site so we can complete connections to the new main over the next two days.

We will then need to restore and reinstate the road surface to the required specifications. Due to the type of road surface involved, this will take time for the different layers of concrete and tarmac to cure and, all going well, we hope to safely remove the temporary lights by 5pm on Tuesday 3 June.

We apologise for any inconvenience and disruption and would like to thank the Weymouth community for your continuing patience and support.

Wednesday 28 May - A33 Platform Road, Southampton

Yesterday we were called to a gas escape on the A33 Platform Road, at its junction with Canute Road in Southampton.

Our engineers have located the leak and are currently working to carry out the necessary repairs. Due to the location of the gas main in the road, three-way temporary traffic lights are in place.

All going well, we hope to complete our work and remove the traffic lights on or before Sunday 1 June. We know it's a very busy area so we're working extended hours to have the road fully re-opened as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Tuesday 27 May - Strathaven Road, Hamilton

We're carrying out emergency repairs in Strathaven Road, Hamilton with temporary four-way traffic lights at the road's junction with Annsfield Road and Chriss Avenue.

We know this is a busy junction so we're working as quickly and safely as possible, but it's still too early to say when repairs will be completed.

Thursday 22 May - A902 Telford Road, Edinburgh

We need to carry out urgent gas network repairs at A902 Telford Road's junction with Groathill Road North.

For everyone's safety, temporary traffic lights will be installed around our work area. We're aware this is a busy route and we advise motorists to allow additional time for your journey.

We expect the required repairs to our network will take approximately three weeks to complete. A period of reinstatement will then be carried out. We'll continue to update our progress here.

Wednesday 21 May - Harman's Cross, Swanage

Our engineers are responding to a gas escape in Harman's Cross, Swanage.

To enable them to safely carry out further investigations and repairs, it has been necessary to put temporary four-way traffic lights in place on the junction of Haycrafts Lane and Valley Road.

It's too early to say how long these repairs will take.

Sunday 18 May - Wallisdown Road, Bournemouth

We're carrying out urgent emergency work at the junction of Kinson Road and Alder Road in Wallisdown.

Two-way temporary traffic lights are in place, which are being manned from 7am until 7pm to help alleviate traffic disruption.

We're aware this is one of the main routes which connects Bournemouth with Poole. We plan to work through the night to make a repair as quickly as we can.

Friday 9 May – Weymouth Way, Weymouth

We’re continuing emergency repairs on our gas main within the nature reserve next to Weymouth Way.

All going well, our work will take approximately two to three weeks to complete. We apologise for any inconvenience and disruption and would like to thank the Weymouth community for your continuing patience and support.

Wednesday 7 May - Bitterne Road West, Southampton

We've been called to a gas escape located on Bitterne Road West at its junction with Athelstan Road in Southampton. Due to the location of gas pipes in the road, we have had to put in place the following temporary emergency road closures for everyone’s safety:

Two lanes closed westbound on Bitterne Road West at the junction with Athelstan Road. A signed diversion route is in place. Eastbound currently remains unaffected.
Athelstan Road has been closed at its junction with Bitterne Road West. This closure means no traffic will be able to exit in and out of Athelstan Road at the Bitterne Road West junction.

Bus routes will be affected and we advise passengers to contact their service provider for the latest updates/changes to service.

It's too early to say how long it will take to complete a repair. There are critical utilities crowded under the road and the team are working under ‘safe dig measures’ requiring hand dig excavation – this process takes longer than when using machinery. The team will remain on site until a repair is complete.

We’ll provide updates as soon as we know more.

Friday 2 May - Cardross Road, Dumbarton

We're continuing urgent work in the Cardross Road area after gas readings were identified. Temporary traffic lights were installed around our work area between 9am and 3pm daily for everyone's safety.

While working here, we have identified further gas readings near the Comelybank Lane junction. We need to close this junction to motorists and signed diversions are in place via Oxhill Road and Charlotte Road. Alternative pedestrian crossing points have been setup.

Our engineers will be replacing this pipe in Comelybank Lane due to the poor condition we've found it in. This will prevent further disruption from potential additional repairs in the future.

We anticipate that all repairs and replacement works in this area will be complete by the end of May.

We'd like to thank the Dumbarton community and commuters for their continued patience and support.

Friday 25 April - Hyde Street, Winchester

We need to carry out emergency repairs to our gas network in Hyde Street, Winchester.

We're currently closing Hyde Street at it's junction with City Road and North Walls. A signed diversion will be in place for motorists.

We understand this is a busy junction and will be working as quickly and safely as possible to complete these urgent repairs.

It's too early to say at this stage how long repairs will take to complete.

Thursday 24 April - Crieff Road, Perth

We’re carrying out emergency repairs to our gas main in Crieff Road, Perth.

For everyone’s safety, temporary two-way lights are in place at Crieff Road’s junction with Unity Terrace. Unity Terrace is also closed at this junction to help improve traffic flow on the main road.

This is a complex repair which requires extensive work in challenging conditions due to the depth of the affected gas main and close proximity of other underground utilities.

While we’re making progress, more is required to complete repairs and it’s too early to say how long this work will take at this stage.

We’d like to thank the Perth community for your ongoing patience and support.

Wednesday 23 April – Milton Road/Velder Avenue, Portsmouth

We are currently carrying out emergency repairs to our network on the junction of Milton Road and Velder Avenue in Portsmouth.

To avoid the need to close Milton Road for our engineers to complete repairs, we’ll be using a specialist contractor to carry out an innovative bonding and repair process. Work is underway from today (Wednesday 23 April) and the team are measuring up to manufacture a mould cask which will then be wrapped around the gas main and bonded.

For everyone’s safety, lanes will be reduced to one lane in each direction at the junction of Milton Road and Velder Avenue.

Our specialist contractors and engineers will be working on and off site over the coming days – this may mean there may be limited visibility of engineers on site at times. Please be assured the repairs of the gas main are an immediate priority.

We’ll provide an update as soon as we have a timeline for carrying out the moulding process and reinstatement work required.

You can find more details about all our other emergency repairs at roadworks.org.
