Engineers from Northern Gas Networks are carrying out essential repair work on an ageing metal gas main on the A62 Leeds Road in Huddersfield to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area.

In order to carry out this work safely and efficiently, it has been necessary to close one lane of traffic. 

Patrick Horton, network officer for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We have teams on site today and tomorrow and we would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused while we complete this essential work. We know that no one likes roadworks and our engineers are working hard to complete the work as soon as possible to minimise any disruption caused.”

Anyone who smells gas should call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999.
