SOE15091 – Montague Close, Sutton (Bute Road)

Update: 08.07.2026

Project complete.

Update: 19.06.2026

The team is working this week to complete the connection. As the works are being carried out in close proximity to a high-pressure gas main, additional safety precautions are required to ensure the engineering work is undertaken safely.

The team is aiming to complete the connection by Friday, with reinstatement works scheduled to take place during the following week. Once all works have been completed, the road closure will be removed and all site equipment and materials will be cleared from the area.

We would like to thank residents for their continued patience, understanding, and cooperation while these essential works are carried out to help maintain a safe and reliable gas network.  

Update: 02.06.2026

The team are currently carrying out works on Rectory Lane, near the junction of Croydon Road. This week will see all services completed and transferred onto the new plastic main. Next week will see reinstatement completed up to the junction of Croydon Road. Then w.c 15/06 will see our team complete the final operation to connect onto the gas main on Croydon Road. Once this is done all engineering works will be completed and works will begin to be cleared.

We would like to thank residents and road users for their continued patience and cooperation while these essential works are carried out.

Update: 14.05.2026

Two teams are currently working on this project in separate areas to ensure the programme is delivered as efficiently as possible.

Team 1 has been working on Ross Road over the past few weeks, and these works have now been fully completed, with the site fully cleared.

Team 2 is currently carrying out works on Rectory Lane, progressing towards Montague Gardens. During the course of the works, the team identified an additional gas main that had not previously been replaced. To minimise future disruption and avoid the need for a separate road closure at a later date, the team will also undertake replacement of this section as part of the current programme.

We would like to thank residents and road users for their continued patience and cooperation while these essential works are carried out.

Update: 29.04.2026

We currently have two teams working on this project, operating in separate areas to ensure the works are completed as efficiently as possible.

Team 1 has been working in Ross Road for the past couple of weeks and is aiming to complete all engineering works by the week commencing 4 May.

Reinstatement works will follow closely behind, and once completed, the road closure will be removed, along with all excess barriers, traffic management, and remaining site equipment.

Team 2 is currently working on Rectory Lane, where works have been ongoing for approximately two weeks under a road closure. The closure will move progressively along the road as the team advances.

This week, the team will be working around the layby section from Northway to Southway, completing the main insertion. The service connections for this section are planned for next week.

The team is expected to remain on Rectory Lane for approximately another four weeks to ensure all works are completed safely and efficiently.

We thank everyone for their patience and cooperation while these essential works are carried out.

Update: 01.04.2026

We currently have two teams working on this project, operating in separate roads to ensure works are completed as efficiently as possible.

Team One completed all works in Collyer Avenue last week and, as of Friday, has moved into Bandon Rise, where they aim to complete works over the next two weeks. During this week, the team will also complete any outstanding reinstatement works in Collyer Avenue, with the road expected to be fully cleared by 7 April 2026.

Team Two is currently working in Lynwood Gardens and is aiming to complete works in this area within the next couple of weeks.
We would like to thank residents and road users for their continued patience and cooperation while these works are completed.

Update: 17.03.2026

We currently have two teams working on this project, both operating in separate roads to ensure the works are completed as efficiently as possible.

Team One is currently working in Oakley Avenue and anticipates completing the works within the next two weeks. Reinstatement will then take place. While this is underway, the team will move on to Bandon Rise to begin the next phase of the project.

Team Two is currently working in Cherry Hill Gardens. The majority of works were completed last week, with the final engineering tasks scheduled to be finished this week. Once completed, the team will move into Lynwood Gardens, where works are expected to continue for approximately three weeks.

Both teams are working efficiently to complete the project with minimal disruption. If anyone has any questions regarding the works in the area, the teams on site will be happy to assist and provide further information.

Update: 10.02.2026

Works on Godson Road are now underway. The engineering works are expected to be completed this week, after which we will carry out reinstatement and site clearance.

Following this, we will be moving our site operations to Aldwick Road.

Update: 27.01.2026

The final section of works on Lodge Avenue is now being completed, and the temporary reversal of the one-way system will remain in operation.

Works are due to commence on Godson Road on Monday 02/02/2026.  During which time the original one-way system will remain in place throughout the duration of the works.

Update: 14.01.2026

Works are progressing well on Limes Avenue. We are currently working our way around the estate towards the Wandle side, after which we will complete the remaining section on Lodge Avenue. Once these works are finished, we will begin on Godson Road, where the original one-way system will remain in place for the duration of the works.

Update: 17.12.2025

Limes Avenue is scheduled to be closed on 5 January 2026. During this period, access will be maintained via Lodge Avenue, which will require a temporary reversal of the existing one-way traffic order on these roads. Works will then progress into Wandle Side, concluding on Lodge Avenue.
