Wales and West Utilities say that the work is essential to keep the gas flowing safely to heat and power local homes and businesses, keeping people safe and warm for generations to come.
As part of the work the company says it has liaised with Swansea Council, and agreed that Dunns Lane will be closed between the junctions of Park Street and Mumbles Road from 8 to 28 January.
A diversion route will be in place and motorists are being advised to allow extra travel time.
Wales & West Utilities Adam Smith is managing this work and said: “We know that working in areas like this is not ideal, but it really is essential to make sure we keep the gas flowing to homes and businesses in the area, and to make sure the gas network is fit for the future. We’ll have a team of gas engineers on site throughout the project to make sure our work is completed as safely and as quickly as possible while keeping disruption to a minimum.
“While most of the gas network is underground and out of sight, it plays a central role in the daily lives of people across the Swansea area. Whether it’s heating your home, making the family dinner or having a hot bath, we understand how important it is for your gas supply to be safe and reliable and there when you need it.
“This work is essential to keep the gas flowing to local homes and businesses today, and to make sure the gas network is ready to transport hydrogen and biomethane, so we can all play our part in a green future.”
