Motorists can breathe a sigh of relief after highway bosses confirmed plans to install a gas main at Fosse Park, Leicester, have been shelved.
Major delays were expected at the Asda roundabout and Narborough Road South, next week, during the school half term.
The work was due to start on the junction 21 approach of the A5460, which links the M1 and M69 motorways to Fosse Park, on Saturday - and last for a week.
However, British Gas have informed the county highways department that the planned road closures are no longer necessary.
Ian Skinner, clerk of works at Leicestershire County Council's transport department, said: "The works that were planned on behalf of British Gas, programmed for May 25 for one week do not now need to take place.
"The company has revised its original proposals so that they no longer affect the busy Asda roundabout or Narborough Road South."
