The gas contractors have nearly finished their work at Bridge Place (see main photo at top taken mid-week) by Rye’s railway bridge and all the excavations have been filled in.
However the resurfacing in Bridge Place looks temporary and the main road will need a resilient resurfacing before it re-opens.
Rye Hill may therefore be open again to traffic either the morning of Good Friday (April 10), or during the course of the day, or Saturday morning at the very latest.
However the work in Military Road uncovered more pipework in need of replacement so the workmen will be back sometime, but with traffic lights to keep vehicles moving.

As of 10 am today (10.4.20) the road was open again.
There was plenty of negatives towards the gas board but I think a well done is in order for a speedy repair.
