The gas network in Bonnyrigg is to be upgraded by SGN, with the works expected to take six weeks to complete.

To help carryout this work, SGN will close Cockpen Road and Dundas Street to through traffic. Dundas Park, Laird Terrace and Wolsey Avenue will also be closed during stages of this project and local diversion routes will be in operation.

Parking suspensions will also be required throughout the duration of the project although vehicle access to and from premises will be maintained where possible. As works will be carried out on a phased basis not all parking will be affected at once.

Some phases of work will also require temporary traffic signals which may cause traffic delays during busy peak periods.

The work involves the replacement of old, metal gas mains with new plastic pipe to ensure a continued safe and reliable gas supply to homes and businesses in the local community for many years to come.
