SGN: Improvement work in Gorgie starts on Monday

From Monday 2 June SGN will be upgrading the gas network in Gorgie Road.

Work is taking place in Gorgie Road, near its junction with Stenhouse Drive. This particular location has experienced multiple gas leaks in recent years and by upgrading our pipes now, we can prevent future emergency work and disruption.

Temporary traffic lights and a road closure will be in place around our working area. These lights will ensure traffic flow can be maintained and vehicles can safely pass our site and excavations in the carriageway.

For the duration of the project, Stenhouse Drive will be closed and local diversion routes will be in place for motorists.
