A BUSY Kidderminster road is set to be closed for six weeks.
Broad Street has been listed for closure on the Worcestershire County Council’s website until just before midnight on April 13.
The closure, which has been granted so Cadent can replace old gas pipes with new plastic ones, began on Monday, March 2 and will remain in place at all times.
Broad Street will be closed from its junction with U12346 Churchfields to its junction with U12358 Queen Street.
A Cadent spokesperson has said that emergency access will be maintained at all times.
The spokesperson added that residents may have to turn off their gas supply during some of our works and may need access to their homes.
“We make sure the pipes that bring the gas to your home keep you safe, warm and connected.
“We’re replacing the old pipes with new plastic ones, which will mean that you’ll be ready for greener gas in the future.
“Our teams on-site will be on hand to let you with more information.
“A diversion route will be in place at all times.
“The route will see drivers turn left towards Clensmore Street, then continue on that road before turning left onto Churchfields.”
