A JUNCTION in Handbridge, Chester, will be out of action for five days due to essential maintenance work.

Engineers with gas network Cadent are due to start relocate a gas pipe at the junction of Edinburgh Way and St George’s Crescent with work starting on Monday (August 20).

A spokesman for the company said: "Edinburgh Way will be accessible from Queen's Drive only during the work and a diversion route via St George’s Crescent and Queen's Drive will be in place.

"We’d like to thank people for their patience while we carry out these essential works."
