Northern Gas Networks will be carrying out essential repair work on a gas main in the Sea Road area of Sunderland, to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to residents in the area for years to come.
Work will commence on Sunday, 19 January at the junction of Sea Road and Fulwell Road and is expected to take seven days to complete.
In order to carry out the work safely and efficiently, it will be necessary to switch off the permanent traffic lights at the junction of Sea Road and Fulwell Road and erect temporary four-way traffic lights to help ease the flow of traffic in the area.
Temporary bus stops will be in place on Fulwell Road and Sea Road for the duration of the work.
John Richardson, Customer Operations Area Manager, Northern Gas Networks said; “We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused and thank everyone for their patience whilst this essential work is being carried out.”
