Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 19 Oct, 09:37 · Archive

Cadent Gas will close sections of Garrison Lane in Felixstowe from November 2026 to February 2027 to replace ageing gas mains.

Cadent Gas will carry out work to replace ageing gas mains along Garrison Lane in Felixstowe between November 2, 2026 and February 12, 2027. The company will replace old pipes with longer-lasting plastic alternatives, introducing a series of phased road closures to manage disruption.

The work is divided into phases. The first runs from November 2 to November 22, closing Garrison Lane from High Road West to Bridge Road. A second closure begins November 9 and continues until November 30, affecting the section from Bridge Road to St Andrews Road. Phase three is scheduled from November 16 to December 7, closing the road from south of St Andrews Road to Cobbold Road. The fourth phase runs from November 23 to December 14, affecting Garrison Lane from south of Cobbold Road to south of Princes Gardens.

Work is scheduled to resume on January 4, 2027 following the Christmas and New Year period, with a closure from north of Newry Avenue to Mill Lane until February 1. Garrison Lane and Orwell Road are listed as affected roads for this phase.

Cadent said the project involves replacing both main gas pipes running along streets and smaller pipes connecting individual properties. The work will require holes to be dug in roads or footpaths, though the company says it will use engineering methods to reduce excavation where possible. Residents may experience noise, traffic and parking disruption during the project.
