* Gas pipe upgrade work starts on the bridge next month.
Wales & West Utilities is to carry out gas pipe upgrade work on the bridge in Castle Street, Llangollen next month.
According to
the company, this will start on Monday October 8 and take three weeks to
complete with three-way traffic lights in operation for the duration of the
work.
In a letter
to local county councillors and the area’s Assembly Member, the company’s
operations controller Paul Astley says the work is essential to “keep the gas
flowing to homes and businesses in the area and to make sure people in the area
are safe and warm for generations to come”.
The letter
adds: “We’ll start on 8 October and our work will take three weeks to complete.
“To keep the
local community, road users and our colleagues safe while we work we will have
three way traffic lights in place while we are working. The existing pedestrian
lights on Abbey Road will be turned off during this period and temporary
pedestrian crossings will be in place.
“This
essential gas pipe investment work is part of our multi-million-pound 30 year
gas pipe investment programme across Wales and the south west of England.
“Old metal
gas pipes within 30 metres of buildings are being upgraded to new, long lasting
plastic ones. We are spending £1.4 million on this programme every week to keep
the gas flowing and make sure your gas network is fit for the future.”
