WORK to replace gas pipes in Stourbridge looks set to cause months of disruption on the roads.
Starting on Monday (February 23), National Grid will be replacing a worn-out section of gas pipe in Love Lane.
The work, which will take place between Heath Lane and Corser Street, is expected to take seven weeks to complete.
During this time, temporary traffic lights will be in place in Love Lane with motorists advised to find an alternative route and allow extra travel time for any additional congestion.
Stephen Murray, from National Grid, said: “We know that some of the essential work National Grid has to carry out to replace the gas mains creates disruption and inconvenience, but we are always looking for ways to minimise these problems.
“In this situation we advise motorists to allow extra time for their journey and follow the road markings guiding them through the diversion.”
