July 10, 2025

A MAIN road is to close for one month due to gas mains replacement works.

- BY ELLIOT JESSETT

The works are planned for the section of Altcar Road between Church Road and Formby bypass and will cause traffic delays, according to a notice shared by Sefton Council.

The work will be carried out by Cadent who manage the gas supply in the area and engineers will be removing old pipes and replacing them with new ones.

The energy firm said this will help support greener gas supplies in the future.

Cadent also warned customers to expect some disruption to their supply when works start.

They said: “We'll have to turn off your gas supply during some of our works and may need access to your home, but our teams on site will be on hand to let you know more information.”
