Wales & West Utilities is investing £160,000 in Llandovery to replace more than 1km of old metal gas pipes with new, longer lasting plastic ones.
The work, which is being carried out by our contract partner Amec Foster Wheeler, started in February and we anticipate it will finish on 16 June.
This essential work will make sure the area continues to receive a safe and reliable gas supply now and into the future.
Work has now moved onto Towy Avenue – the final phase of our work. Wales & West Utilities has worked closely with Carmarthenshire County Council and South Wales Trunk Road Agency, to minimise disruption for residents and road users. Between 8AM and 530PM stop and go boards will be in place on Towy Avenue through to Queensway. The work will be finished, and the traffic management removed by 16 June.
Wales & West Utilities Programme Controller for Wales, Francis Kirk, said:
“We know the effect that this sort of work can have on communities, and we will have a team on site throughout the project to make sure that we get the job finished as safely and as quickly as possible to minimise disruption for local people and road users.
“The work on Towy Avenue is part of our gas pipe investment programme for the area, essential to make sure homes and businesses continue to receive a safe and reliable gas supply now and into the future.”
