Notification of major gas works: High Street and Lyndhurst Road, Worthing

The project involves the essential replacement of old metal gas mains with new plastic pipe to ensure we continue to provide a safe and reliable gas supply to the local area. Our contractor KLT will undertake this work on our behalf.

So, that we can minimise the impact of our essential work, we have carefully consulted and planned our works in partnership with West Sussex County Council, our project will start on Monday 14 May 2018 and is expected to last approximately seven weeks.

Phase one – approximately seven weeks

We’ll start our project in High Street between its junction with A259 North Street and Little High Street. We’ll be replacing our gas main and service pipes along the western side on the road in sections. Majority of our work will be carried out in the footpath; however, we may need to access our network from the road at times. We will agree this with West Sussex County Council in advance and install advance notice signs to keep residents informed.

Phase two – approximately four weeks

On Monday 4 June, our second team of engineers will begin upgrading our network in Lyndhurst Road. To ensure everyone’s safety around our work area, we will need to close Lyndhurst Road from 10am on Monday 4 June between the A259 North Street roundabout and Providence Terrace.

Lyndhurst Road is expected to be closed for approximately four weeks, until Friday 29 June. Signed diversions via the A259 Brighton Road and Brougham Road will be in place throughout. Access to Providence Terrace will be maintained for residents travelling westbound on Lyndhurst Road.

Access to Worthing Hospital and A&E will be maintained from the eastern approach of Lyndhurst Road throughout our work.
