A busy junction in the Larkhall area of Bath will be closed to traffic for a week to allow for the upgrade of gas pipes by Wales & West Utilities.
The junction in Fairfield Park
The junction of Eastbourne Avenue, Fairfield Road, Tyning Lane and Camden Road will be closed from Saturday 25th October through to Sunday 2nd November.
The work is taking place following collaboration between Bath & North East Somerset Council and the gas emergency and pipeline service.
Wales & West Utilities’ Simon Lee is managing this work. He said: “We have planned these works to coincide with the school holidays to minimise disruption to motorists.
“We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future.
“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of this community.
“Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
“This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport green gases in the future.”
