Cadent look after the gas pipes in our area and they are upgrading the old metal gas pipes along Brentwood High Street in September 2025. They plan to work in the area from Monday 15 September for 6 weeks, meaning a road closure will be in place on Brentwood High Street from the junction of Kings Road to the junction of Ongar Road, with diversions in place for the duration of the works.
Cadent are upgrading the ageing gas pipes to tough, durable, long-lasting plastic pipes, which are expected to last over 80 years and will help reduce the likelihood of disruptive, unplanned work to repair ageing gas pipes in the future. This work will ensure the network is safely carrying gas to heat properties, provide hot water and cook food.
To carry out works safely and maintain the traffic flow, Cadent will need to put traffic management in place as follows:
- A road closure will be in place on Brentwood High Street from the junction of Kings Road to the junction of Ongar Road from 15/09/25 to 27/10/25. Diversion routes will be in place via Queens Road and Kings Road.
- Temporary traffic lights will be in place on High Street at the junction of Crown Street from 06/10/25 to 27/10/25.
- Parking bay suspensions will be in place along the High Street for the duration of the works.
- Buses will be on diversion for the duration of the works. Diversion routes will be in place.
If you have business deliveries, please speak to a member of the Cadent team on-site and they will be able to accommodate these for you.
Any questions about the works should be directed to Cadent. You can contact their Customer Care team on 0800 085 4478 (between 8am - 8pm Monday to Friday) or by email on CustomerCareLondon@cadentgas.com.
