Cadent is currently carrying out essential work to repair a gas main by the side of the B1113, Badley.
The repair job is a complex engineering task with engineers having to dig a deep excavation (circa 2m) to carry out the necessary repairs.
A lane closure is currently in place on the road opposite MorvEnd heading towards Needham Market and a diversion is in place via the A14.
Local gas supplies have not been affected by the work.
Cadent Network Supervisor Mark Howells said: “We will do all we can to complete the work as soon as possible but currently it looks like the work will extend into next week due to the engineering complexities.”
He added: “We’re sorry for any inconvenience this essential work may be causing however the work must be done to help ensure local people keep on enjoying safe and reliable gas supplies for cooking and heating.”
