What we are doing
To allow for the construction of the new railway and to continue to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply, Cadent will be moving an underground gas pipeline that runs near Rookery Lane, west of Hints. We expect to complete all our work by the end of 2021. We will keep local people up to date as our work progresses.
We now need to dig a tunnel in fields either side of Rookery Lane, so we can install the pipeline underneath the road. This will involve constructing two shafts inside our working area and using a boring machine to tunnel between these shafts. This construction method means that we can keep Rookery Lane open.
