A ROAD in Brecon will be closed for a full week during October, to carry out gas mains replacement works.
Maendu Street, in Brecon, will be shut 24 hours a day for seven days, while Wales & West Utilities carry out the work.
Brecon town and county councillor Matthew Dorrance announced the news on Facebook last week, with the project confirmed on the Wales & West Utilities website.
“Residents are advised that Maendu Street, Brecon (LD3 9HE), will be fully closed from 19th October to 25th October to allow Wales & West Utilities to carry out gas mains replacement works,” said Councillor Dorrance on Friday, September 18.

Wales & West said the work will see 148 metres of old metallic gas mains replaced with plastic pipes, with approximately 22 service pipes connecting to adjacent properties.
This will involve a full road closure, although access to properties will be maintained, as well as emergency vehicle access, via a diversion route.
“Residents affected will be notified by Wales & West Utilities approximately one week before the closure begins,” added Cllr Dorrance.
“Please allow extra time for journeys and follow any signed diversion routes during the works.
Thank you for your patience while these essential upgrades are carried out.”
