Gas pipe upgrade works will be starting on Marsh Road from today, Monday 28 July, and are expected to last for around five weeks.
The works are being carried out by Cadent Gas as part of essential upgrades to the gas pipes in the area.
Temporary traffic lights will be in place at two key junctions – one at Chessington Court and the other at Marsh Road and Rayners Lane. In addition, Marsh Road will be fully closed at the junction with Cecil Park between 4 and 17 August.
A diversion route will be in place throughout the works, taking drivers via Pinner Road, George V Avenue, St Thomas’ Drive, Uxbridge Road, Elm Park Road and Bridge Street before rejoining Marsh Road.
The timing of the works has been scheduled to take place during the school summer holidays, which should help minimise disruption. Waste collection services in the area will continue as normal.
Harrow Council is advising people to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys while the work is underway.
