SGN to begin major upgrades on gas network in Streatley, lasting months

SGN will soon commence extensive upgrades to the gas network in Streatley.

The works will be completed in phases over the coming months, causing road closures, diversions and traffic delays.

While many of the closures are in the evening, the first closure in Wallingford Road by The Bull pub crossroads is expected to last six weeks, starting from Monday, May 15.

The works are scheduled as follows.

Phase One, starting on Monday, will see work begin in Wallingford Road, which will be closed between the junction of Wantage Road and Chestnut Cottages.

Chestnut Cottages will maintain access via the High Street.

Phase Two will see engineers move into Streatley Hill from July 24 for approximately three weeks.

The road will be closed during this time at the junction of The Coombe, where temporary traffic lights will be in place for up to seven weeks.

Access to The Coombe, Lewendon Hill, Bull Meadow and Hill Gardens will be signposted as the works progress.

Phase Three will commence on September 4. Engineers will be working in Wantage Road for approximately six weeks.

Phase Four will shortly follow in mid September, returning to Wallingford Road for approximately six weeks.

Temporary traffic lights will be in place at the junction with Townsend Road to allow traffic to safely pass the work site.

And Phase five will start in October. Engineers will be working in Townsend Road for approximately six weeks. SGN will be asking traffic to ‘give and take’ past its work site.

It will also be working in Three Gables Lane for up to four weeks, and will be asking road users to ‘give and take’ past its work site.
