Island Energy engineers are doing emergency work on Bagot Road following a reported gas leak.
Motorists are being asked to avoid the area because a section of the road has been excavated.
A spokesperson for the gas company said.
“We were made aware of a suspected gas escape on Bagot Road earlier today.
“Our engineers acted quickly to investigate and are currently working on site.
“That has meant some disruption while a section of the road is excavated, and temporary lights are in operation.”
Delays are expected and drivers are advised to find an alternative route.
“We are working as quickly as possible to rectify the situation safely and will have traffic restrictions removed at the earliest opportunity.”
”We would like to take this opportunity to remind Islanders that if they smell gas or suspect a gas escape to call our 24-hour emergency line on 01534 755555.”
