Sutton Rd, Cookham – Gas Pipes Upgrade over 34 weeks
Cadent Gas Network Major Works
Sutton Road, Cookham and surrounding side roads have 3.7km of corroded aging gas pipes that need to be changed.
Cadent are upgrading the ageing metal gas pipes with new more durable plastic pipes. This is government-mandated work, directed by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
Start date: 31 March 2025
Duration: Planned for 34 Weeks (inc. reinstatement) in 20 Phases
Length of pipe to be replaced: 3.7km (2.3 miles)
Traffic management: The majority of the project will be carried out under multi-way lights due to single lane closures with 1 bus stop suspension in phase 1. Footway closures will be in place with alternative routes provided. Traffic management for phase 20 will be confirmed
