A road in Broadmayne will be closed for a month and a half whilst its gas main is replaced.

Rectory Road will be closed in two phases, starting from Monday, January 22.

The first phase is between its junctions with Chalky Road and Broadmead.

The second is between its junctions with Broadmead and the A352. This is a distance of approximately 300 metres.

The work is expected to be completed by Friday, March 8.

The closure is to allow SGN safe access to carry out a gas mains replacement scheme.

The start of this closure coincides with the completion of roadworks by SGN to replace a gas main on Chalky Road which started on November 27.

The alternative route, which will be sign-posted is as follows: A352 - Chalky Road.

For further information about the work being undertaken and access arrangements, call SGN on 07874865505.
