We're carrying out essential upgrades to our gas network in the Bow Road area. This work has been planned in close consultation with the local authority l and will ensure a continued safe and reliable gas supply to nearby homes and businesses.
Working to keep you safe and warm
What we're doing
Our engineering team is replacing old metallic mains with modern plastic pipe which has a lifespan of 80 years.
When we'll be working
Our project will start on Monday 23 June and will last for approximately 12 weeks.
Where we'll be working
We'll be replacing approximately 900m of old gas main along Bow Road and upgrading around 60 service pipes to adjoining properties.
Our engineers will be working in sections between Waterside Mews and Tonbridge Road.
To ensure everyone's safety, we need to close Bow Road to motorists between these junctions. The closure point will move as we progress down the road.
In consultation with Kent County Council, Nettlestead Lane will also be shut at its junction with Park Road for the duration of the project. This is to prevent motorists from using it as a shortcut as it is not suitable for heavy volumes of traffic.
Affected motorists should follow the signed diversions in place.
