Vital work to keep the gas flowing in Hemel Hempsted is due to start on Sunday 17^th January, for approximately 17 weeks.

The project involves replacing ageing gas mains and service pipes with tough new pipes which won’t need replacing again for at least 80 years. This work needs to be done now to help ensure people in the local area keep on enjoying safe and reliable gas supplies for cooking and heating into the future.

Road closures will be needed to keep engineers, residents and motorists safe while the work is under way.

The work will be split into phases, to minimise disruption.

Phase One:
Three-way traffic lights will be placed at the junction of London Road and Felden Lane and Box Lane will be closed from the 17^th January to 21^st February. 

Phase Two:
Two-way traffic lights will be placed at the junction of Felden lane and London road

Phase Three:
Three-way traffic lights will be outside the bus depot on London road

Phase Four:
Lane closures will be put in place on London road at the junction with Roughdown Road
