What we are doing
From 21 August to 10 December 2023, we will be carrying out works to protect the main gas pipe below the A40 Western Avenue between Hanger Lane Gyratory and Gypsy Corner. We will be digging a number of trenches along the road to reach the depth of the main gas pipe. The existing metal gas pipe will be replaced with plastic.
Please note that these works were due to be completed by 17 November but have been extended to 10 December 2023. The reason for the extension is unexpected additional works.
How this might affect you
To ensure the safety of the public and our staff, temporary changes will be in place on the A40 Western Avenue, these include:
- Removal of the central reservation
- Installation of a contraflow system on the East and Westbound Carriageway
- Bus stop and parking bay suspensions
- Closure of the Eastbound Carriageway overnight on 17 November and 29 October 2023
