Wales & West Utilities is progressing well with its work to upgrade gas pipes in the Hadfield Road area of Cardiff.
The work is essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people warm for generations to come.
As part of the work, it has been agreed with Cardiff Council that four-way temporary traffic lights will be in place on the junction of Hadfield Road and Penarth Road for the next two weeks (9 – 22 September). Motorists are advised to allow extra travel time.
Wales & West Utilities Andrew Coleman is managing this work and said:
This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.
While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across Cardiff. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future. We’ll have a team of gas engineers on site throughout the project to make sure our work is completed as safely and as quickly as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum.
