notification from HS2

We will be carrying out works to protect the main gas pipe below the A40 Western Avenue between Hanger Lane Gyratory and Gypsy Corner. We will be digging a number of trenches along the road to reach the depth of the mains gas pipe.

These works will take place from 31 July until 22 October 2023.

To ensure the safety of the public and our staff, temporary changes will be in place on the A40 Western Avenue, these include:

• Removal of the central reservation
• Installation of a contraflow system on the East and Westbound Carriageway
• Bus stop and parking bay suspensions
• Closure of the Eastbound Carriageway overnight on 21 August

Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times and signed diversion routes for vehicles will be in place.
