Gas main replacement works will be carried out by SGN from Monday, October 31.

The work will take place across a number of phases.

Drivers have been warned delays are likely during the work which is due to finish on February 27, 2023.

Wick Lane will be closed from its junction with Tuckton Roundabout to the junction of Riversdale and associated junctions from October 31 to December 9.

As reported earlier this week, CityFibre has been carrying out three days of work in the Tuckton Roundabout area this week.

One business in Tuckton Road said it had been subjected to noise and queues outside the store for two weeks and described the work as "unbearable".

A spokesperson for CityFibre said: "In Tuckton Road, we’re installing state of the art infrastructure which will benefit dozens of homes and businesses in the area.

"This is a major undertaking, which is why we are working closely with our build partner, local authorities and the council’s highways team to ensure all works are delivered as effectively and efficiently as possible.”
