Gas network upgrade
We're investing £90,000 to upgrade the gas network in Holytown, North Lanarkshire.
Following consultation with North Lanarkshire Council, our work will start on Monday 31 August 2026 and is expected to take around six weeks to complete.
To allow us to carry out this essential work safely, temporary four-way traffic lights will be in place at the roundabout connecting Edinburgh Road, Main Street, Bo’Ness Road and the A723 throughout the project. To help minimise disruption, the traffic lights will be manually controlled between 7am-7pm, 7 days a week.
We're installing 240 metres of new plastic gas pipe to strengthen the local network and ensure there is enough gas capacity to meet the needs of the area's growing number of homes and businesses.
What do these roadworks mean for me?
- Our engineers and local signage will keep road users and residents informed.
- All businesses will remain open around our work areas. Access to all commercial properties will be maintained throughout.
- Emergency services will be informed about the restrictions.
We recognise roadworks can be frustrating, and we're sorry for any inconvenience this essential work may cause. However, the new plastic pipe has a lifespan of 80 years, which means when the work is complete, local residents and businesses will be able to enjoy the benefits of a safe and reliable gas supply long into the future.
