We look after more than 74,000 kilometres of pipes across our network. Making sure these pipes deliver your gas safely and reliably means that we need to upgrade or repair them at times. We know that roadworks can be frustrating, but our essential work keeps you, your family and local community safe.

Roadworks FAQs
We have a number of helpful frequently asked questions at the bottom of this page, under the Help and advice heading.
Planned work
Friday 30 August - Bullfinch Lane, Riverhead
We've been upgrading our network along Bullfinch Lane since mid-July. For everyone's safety, Bullfinch Lane was closed to motorists around our work area.
Our work was originally scheduled to be completed by Sunday 1 September. However, as we replaced our old gas pipes, we discovered a leaking sewer pipe nearby. Waiting for this sewer pipe to be repaired has extended our estimated completion date, and we now expect to be able to safely reopen Bullfinch Lane by next Saturday evening (7 September).
Affected motorists should continue to follow the signed diversion in place. Access is maintained for residents and businesses.
We'd recommend you allow extra time for your journeys while the road remains closed.
Thank you for your ongoing patience and understanding while we complete this essential work to ensure local properties receive a safe and reliable supply of gas.
Friday 23 August - Kingsmills Road, Inverness
We need to carry out emergency gas mains replacement work to our network in the Kingsmills Road area of Inverness to ensure the area continues to receive a continued safe and reliable gas supply.
Our project will begin on 26 August 2024 and last approximately 17 weeks.
We’re carrying out our work in phases to reduce disruption as much as possible. Kingsmills Road will be closed in three phases.
Emergency vehicle access will be maintained during our work. Please note access into the Nursing Home will be open.
All business in the area will be open as normal during our work and access for residents will be always maintained throughout the project.
Tuesday 30 July - Alder Road, Poole
We're carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in Alder Road, Poole.
Due to the depth and complexity of our repair, we need to temporarily close South Park Road and Langside Avenue from 9.15am on Tuesday 30 July, after the rush hour traffic.
We'll also need to install temporary two-way traffic lights on Alder Road to allow traffic to keep flowing in the area.
We estimate our work will take approximately two weeks but this is subject to change.
Friday 14 June - Holmquarry Road, Kilmarnock
We've recently been carrying out emergency repairs to our gas main in Holmquarry Road, Kilmarnock. We've now taken the decision, in close consultation with North Ayrshire Council, to replace a section of the gas main in Holmquarry Road with new modern plastic pipe.
This will ensure a safe and reliable gas supply for many years to come and help prevent future disruption caused by any unplanned, urgent repairs.
To complete our work safely we'll need to close Holmquarry Road, between its junctions with Burnside Street and Greenholm Street, from Monday 17 June for six weeks.
All local businesses in the area will be accessible and open as normal during this work.
We'd like to thank Kilmarnock businesses and residents for your continued support and patience.
Emergency gas pipe repairs
When upgrading pipes or installing a new connection, we can plan the roadworks in advance. But when safety is at stake we must respond quickly and efficiently, and this may mean having to carry out streetworks at very short notice or at night. Sometimes we have to start work before the information filters through to our map. When that happens, we’ll add that information here.
Wednesday 28 August - A36 Wilton Road, Salisbury
We are currently investigating a reported smell of gas in Wilton Road, Salisbury. For everyone's safety, we have installed temporary two-way traffic lights to allow our teams to excavate on the gas main in the carriageway.
We're working to complete our repair as soon as possible but it's too early to say how long our work will take. We're sorry for any inconvenience this urgent work may cause.
Tuesday 27 August - B759 Busby Road, Glasgow
Our engineers are responding to a gas leak in Busby Road, Glasgow, near to its junction with Newcraigs Drive.
To allow emergency repairs and to ensure everyone's safety while we work, a road closure will be in place from tomorrow morning. Road users will be diverted via B766 Carmunnock Bypass, Carmunnock Road, Hillcrest, Windlaw Road and B759 Busby Road.
At the moment it's too early to say how long our work will take to complete.
Friday 23 August - Chalmers Street, Dunfermline
We're carrying out urgent repairs to our gas network following a leak on Chalmers Street in Dunfermline.
A section of Chalmers Street is currently closed to motorists so we can keep everyone safe while we access and repair the affected pipe.
A signed diversion route via Bruce Street and the A907 is in place for road users.
It's too early to say how long it might take to complete the required repairs. We'll provide progress updates on this page.
Sunday 11 August - Knightsridge West Road, Livingston
Our engineers have now completed emergency repairs to our gas main in the Moss Wood footpath.
The railway line and footpath which were both closed for safety reasons are now being re-opened.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused to train passengers and the local community.
Thursday 8 August – Charing Cross, Glasgow
We are currently repairing a gas escape in Glasgow city centre, at the junction of North Street and Sauchiehall Street. This is emergency work which cannot be delayed for safety reasons.
Glasgow City Council is overseeing work at this location already, therefore we’ve had to change the existing traffic management to complete our work.
This has involved removing the temporary southbound lane of the carriageway. A signed diversion is in place. The temporary northbound lane is unaffected.
All being well, we expect to complete our work in the next week.
We appreciate the impact our work will have on the flow of traffic within the local area. We’re very sorry for the disruption caused.
Update: 23 August
We can now confirm that our work is set to continue until Friday 30 August.
At 9pm on Tuesday 27 August, the road will be fully closed. At 7am on Wednesday 28 August, one northbound lane will reopen while the rest of the carriageway will remain closed for the surface to be reinstated. After this, the previous traffic management involving one northbound and one southbound lane being in operation will be in place.
Tuesday 6 August – Kanes Hill, Southampton
We're carrying out urgent repairs to our gas network in Kanes Hill, Southampton.
Due to the location of the repairs required and for everyone’s safety, we’ve installed temporary two-way traffic lights on Kanes Hill close to Silver Tide. To help keep the traffic flowing, these lights will be manually controlled from 7am to 7pm throughout our repair.
It’s too early to say how long the repairs will take but our engineers will remain on site until the repair has been completed.
Wednesday 17 July - B2052 Millmead Road, Margate
Our engineers are carrying out emergency repairs to our gas network in the B2052.
Until now, this work has taken place under three-way temporary traffic lights, however, after investigation our specialist team has decided to replace the damaged section of our gas network and a road closure is required between the junctions of Laleham Road and Hengist Avenue.
We anticipate that our upgrade work will be completed by 30 July.
