Road works on A1184 between Bishop’s Stortford and Sawbridgeworth set to last seven months
Seven months of congestion on the main road between Bishop’s Stortford and Sawbridgeworth lie ahead for motorists.
Cadent Gas is set to start work next Monday (February 10) on gas main replacement along the A1184.
The utility company will begin at the Pig Lane junction in Stortford and progress southwards until contractors reach Station Road in Sawbridgeworth.
Temporary traffic signals will operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week, with manual controls from 6am to 8pm daily.
There will be extended working hours, including weekends, to finish the project as soon as possible.
Work at the junction of the A1184 with West Road and Station Road in Sawbridgeworth will be carried out during the school summer holidays.
Additional work in residential streets, including Bullfields, will be delivered during the school Easter holidays in April.
Letters will be sent to affected residents this week and highways authority Hertfordshire County Council says it will “have regular communications with Cadent Gas to monitor programme delivery and address any concerns”.
