EMERGENCY work is being carried out in Great North Road, following a suspected gas leak.

Repairs are causing delays to traffic in and out of Milford Haven town centre.

Traffic lights are in place.

It is understood that works are scheduled to be completed by 4pm today.

Paul Muxworthy, Wales & West Utilities Operational Manager for Milford Haven said: “We were alerted to reports of a gas leak at an empty property on Wednesday (December 13) in the Hamilton Terrace area of Milford Haven and immediately sent an engineer to investigate. 

"On arrival, we discovered a leak on an internal gas service pipe supplying the property and worked to repair it. 

"In agreement with South Wales Trunk Road Agency and to keep road users, pedestrians and our colleagues safe while we work, traffic lights are in place along Hamilton Terrace, opposite the memorial. 

"We are now filling in the holes that we have dug and will need to keep the traffic lights in place in order to allow the new road surface time to set. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect to complete the work and remove the traffic lights by the end of today (December 15).

"We would like to thank members of the public for their patience. We know working on roads such as these is not ideal, but it was important that we fixed the leak as safely and quickly as possible."
