- Hanworth Road to be closed between junctions from Wellington Road South and Bell Road from midnight tonight (Wednesday 6 March 2019)
- Closure expected to be in place for a minimum of three weeks
- Work will replace leaking old gas main with tough new pipe and cut future disruption
Motorists are being advised of a road closure in Hounslow as Cadent engineers deal work to cut disruption by replacing a leak prone old gas main with a tough new pipe.
Hanworth Road will be closed, between the junctions with Wellington Road South and Bell Road, from midnight tonight (Wednesday 6 March).
The closure will be in place for at least three weeks and a signed diversion in place via Wellington Road South, Staines Road/Roman Road and Bell Road. Access will be maintained for occupants of the road and local shops, businesses and facilities will remain open as normal.
Engineers are replacing a leak prone stretch of ageing gas main, which has caused repeated disruption recently. A tough new pipe which should last until the dawn of the 22
nd century will replace the leak prone pipe reducing future disruption.
This work must be done to help ensure the local community keep on enjoying safe and reliable gas supplies for cooking and heating.
Local gas supplies are not expected to be interrupted during the work and engineers will be working extended hours to get the job completed as soon as possible.
