Roadworks starting soon on Cambridge roads near hospital to last eight weeks

The roadworks will be taking place near Addenbrooke’s Hospital and will cause delays to traffic in the area.

Roadworks along two Cambridge streets are set to start this week and will last around eight weeks. The roadworks on Long Road and Hills Road towards Addenbrooke’s Hospital will be in place from Friday, May 1.

There will be temporary traffic lights placed on both roads during the works. The work is currently set to be completed by Sunday, June 28.

Cambridgeshire County Council has said the temporary traffic lights are likely to cause delays in the area. The work is being carried out by Cadent Gas, who will be replacing old pipes with new plastic ones.

The work means some properties will have their gas supply turned off during the day and Cadent Gas might need access to some homes. Cadent Gas has said its teams will be on the site to answer any questions residents might have.

A spokesperson for Cambridgeshire County Council said: “Only one road will be worked on at a time. Please plan your journey.”
