From Monday 9 June our specialist contractor, DJ Utilities Limited, will be working to upgrade the gas network in the Cuckfield Road and Western Road area of Hurstpierpoint. The work, which will be ongoing for approximately ten weeks, will involve replacing old, metal pipes with new longer longer-lasting plastic ones to ensure local homes and businesses continue to receive a reliable gas supply.
Due to the location of the gas pipes in the roads, and for everyone’s safety, we’ll need to have temporary multi-way traffic lights and road closures in place. The work will be carried out in two phases as follows:
- Phase one – Cuckfield Road, at its junction with Western Road
From 9 June for 8 weeks – we’ll be replacing the gas mains on both Cuckfield Road, from its junction with Willow Way to Iden Hurst, and Western Road, from its junction with Cuckfield Road to Nursery Close. During this time, temporary two-way traffic lights will be in place as works progress. To help keep the traffic flowing, these lights will be manned between 7am - 7pm. The junction of Willow Way and Cuckfield Road will also be closed, and access in and out of Willow Way onto Cuckfield Road will be from the northern end of the road.
- Phase two – Western Road
From 28 July for 2 weeks – we’ll be replacing the gas main on Western Road, at its junction with Hurst Gardens. During this time, we will need to close the junction of Western Road.
We appreciate how disruptive road closures are for residents and road users. Our engineers are committed to doing everything they can to complete these works as quickly and as safely as possible.
