Work to improve the fresh drinking water supply network between Hale and Aldershot will begin soon.
The £4 million project will see South East Water install around four kilometres of new water mains over the next year to help increase the capacity of the water network.
Although the majority of pipe will be laid in private land, there will be work in public highways, with some road closures required.
The project is set to start in Sandy Hill Road in Hale on Monday, May 13, with 800 metres of new water mains being laid in the carriageway.
A rolling road closure will be in place to protect motorists and pedestrians as works proceed from the Upper Hale Road junction to the northern end of Sandy Hill Road, just after Sturt Road.
Work will also start on Bourley Road in Aldershot on the same day, Monday, May 13, from the junction of Farnborough Road to Sunny Hill Road. This work will be undertaken using traffic lights and is expected to continue until September.
The project will then move through the Ministry of Defence training estate between September 2024 and March 2025, from the northern end of Sandy Hill Road and entering the Bourley and Long Valley Site of Special Scientific Interest and Thames Basin Heaths Special Protection Area.
Also in September, work will continue along the carriageway of the A325 Farnborough Road from Bourley Road to Pennefather’s Road, which will require both a road closure and then temporary traffic lights.
