Wales & West Utilities is progressing well with work to upgrade the gas pipes in St. Asaph.
The work, which began at the beginning of the month, is vital to ensuring gas continues to flow safely and reliably to homes and businesses across the area - helping to keep people warm for decades to come. All going to plan the project will finish during October.
The project has been planned in conjunction with Denbighshire County Council and work has now completed on High Street, with the one-way system taken down. A one-way system will be in place from tomorrow whilst work is ongoing on The Roe, allowing traffic to enter St Asaph from the A525 Bod Erw / Talardy roundabout (until 19 August),
The project is part of Wales & West Utilities work to invest over £6.8 million over the next year to upgrade gas pipes across north Wales. The intensive programme of wider mains replacement works will see over 42 kilometres of gas pipes upgraded across the region.
Wales & West Utilities Adam Smith is managing this work and said:
“We’re progressing well with our work to invest in the gas network.
“We understand our work can cause disruption, but it is essential to maintain a resilient gas network that households and business can rely on every day.
“While much of the gas network is out of sight, it plays a vital role in daily life – from heating homes to cooking meals and we know how important it is that gas is there when people need it.
“Once we’ve completed this intensive phase of work, we’ll leave behind an upgraded network that meets today’s energy needs, and is ready to transport greener gases in the future. By completing this work now, barring any emergency repairs, we can avoid returning to the area and causing further disruption to the local community for decades.”
