GAS WORK in Craiglockhart Avenue & Lanark Road
Added on 06 October 2024
We have today received the following from the Roads Coordination Engineer – South West Area, City of Edinburgh Council.
"Please see below information from SGN in relation to a forthcoming gas mains replacement scheme to be undertaken in the forthcoming weeks on Craiglockhart Avenue and the surrounding area.
Work on this project will commence promptly due to a large number of gas escapes identified on the main road in the past year. As such the timetable for this scheme has been brought forwards with the approval of the CEC Roads Coordination team.
You will note that the scheme has been split up into different phases where traffic will be managed in different methods suitable to the engineering needs and conditions of each road.
