The work, which takes place from 3-13 January, involves upgrading old metal gas pipes to new long lasting plastic ones on Llwynderw Road from the junction that merges with Merthyr Road in Gabalfa.
As part of the work Wales & West Utilities has worked closely with The City of Cardiff Council and it has been agreed that there will be a lane closure on Llwynderw Road to complete the work. A diversion route will be clearly signposted.
Wales & West Utilities Programme Controller for Wales, Francis Kirk, is managing the work and said:
“We are very aware of the effect this work can have on communities and road users.
“Working in this area, which can get busy with traffic, is never easy and we want to give people notice that this section of work to improve the gas network to homes and businesses in the area will require traffic management.
“We will work as quickly and as safely as possible to make sure that we get the job finished with minimal disruption for local people.”
