The following Alert is being circulated on behalf of SGN

I’m writing to let you know we’re carrying out essential upgrades to our gas network in the A725 Kingsway, East Kilbride. This work has been planned in close consultation with South Lanarkshire Council and AMEY and will ensure a continued safe and reliable gas supply to nearby homes and businesses.

What we're doing
Our engineering team is replacing 2.3km of old metallic mains with modern plastic pipe which has a lifespan of 80 years. So far, we've replaced 2km.

Where and when we are working
Our project started in August 2023 and will be completed by April 2024. We're replacing our gas main in the A725 Kingsway between Whitemoss Roundabout and the roundabout north of Whirlies Roundabout.

We planned to carry out most of our work on the verge, however we now need to work in the A725 Kingsway leading to a lane closure.  

Lane closure at Whirlies Roundabout north exit
To complete this project, we need to replace a final 300 metre section in the Kingsway, starting at the northmost exit of the Whirlies Roundabout. This work begins on Monday 18 March and will last for approximately eight weeks.

For everyone’s safety the Kingsway will be down to one lane northbound, for motorists exiting Whirlies Roundabout onto the Kingsway.  
We know this is a busy junction, so will be working as quickly and safely as possible to complete our work. 

If left undisturbed, the new plastic pipe has a minimum lifespan of 80 years. This means once the work is complete, residents and businesses will be able to enjoy a continued safe and reliable gas supply for many years to come. 
We’d like to thank East Kilbride residents, businesses and motorists for your continued patience and support throughout this essential work.

We’ll be sharing this information on our website and social media and notifying traffic organisations.

If you need any further information about this project, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
