Worthing road closed for emergency repairs
A road in Worthing has been closed for emergency repairs to a gas main, causing delays to traffic.
Part of Terringes Avenue is closed, with temporary traffic lights in place at the junction with Ringmer Road.
A spokesperson for gas distribution company SGN said: “We’ve been carrying out emergency repairs to our gas main in the Terringes Avenue area of Worthing.
"To keep people safe while we work, a road closure is in place along Terringes Avenue, at its junction with Ringmer Road.
"Traffic lights are also in place at this junction and a diversion route is clearly signposted.
“Our engineers have worked as quickly and as safely as possible and have completed the repair.
"We are now in the process of reinstating the road and will need to keep the closure in place to give the new surface time to set.”
The roadworks have reportedly caused major delays to traffic.
SGN said it will reopen the road by Thursday, October 22, ‘barring any unforeseen circumstances’.
The company added: “We’re sorry for any disruption this emergency work may have caused, and we appreciate people’s patience and understanding.”
