Cambridgeshire road will close for two months to upgrade water pipes

Anglian Water is set to upgrade old water pipes

A Cambridgeshire road will be closed for around two months to upgrade water pipes. Anglian Water will begin work on Gadd’s Lane in Wisbech from Tuesday, May 5, running until July.

During this time, the road will be closed. An Anglian Water spokesperson said: “We’re upgrading older water pipes on Gadd’s Lane from May 5 to reduce bursts, low pressure and interruptions, helping keep your water reliably.

“To do this work safely, Gadd’s Lane will be closed while we install the new pipe.” During the road closure, people who live along the road will still be able to access their properties.

The work will begin near Leverington Common, with access from the Barton Road end. As Anglian Water moves along, access will change to Leverington Common end.

The Anglian Water spokesperson added: “Your water will stay on as normal while we work, and if we ever need to turn it off for a short time, we’ll let you know in advance. We know we’ve been working in Wisbech recently and really appreciate your patience while we carry out this next phase of improvements.”
