The project began at the end of August and was carried out to ensure gas continues to be delivered safely and reliably to homes and businesses for years to come.
The gas emergency and pipeline service worked with the local community and liaised with Bath & North East Somerset Council to plan the scheme.
It was agreed that traffic management would be needed throughout the duration of the work.
Simon Lee, who managed the project for Wales & West Utilities, thanked residents for their patience.
He said: “We would like to thank the local community for bearing with us whilst we completed this essential work.
“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the area.
“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 was 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.”
