MAJOR ROADWORKS ON THE RIDGE
Major roadworks could bring traffic delays on The Ridge for two years.
The work, which involves replacing century-old metal gas mains with plastic pipes, will be carried out in six phases stretching from the Conquest Hospital to Pine Avenue.
It is part of SGN's 30-year programme to replace old gas mains.
Each phase of the work will mean temporary traffic lights. The company says these will be manually operated to 'ensure traffic continues to flow on this sensitive route'.
However, it recommends motorists allow extra time for journeys while the lights are in operation.
