Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential work to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the Baildon Area.

The ageing main has undergone several recent emergency repairs, so has now been prioritised for urgent replacement. The ageing metal pipework is now being replaced by new, more durable plastic pipes, to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now, while getting the network ready to transport alternative greener fuels such as hydrogen in the future.

The works will commence on 23rd January 2023 and is expected to last for approximately 16 weeks. It has been planned in collaboration with Bradford Council.

So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, some traffic management measures will be put in place.

There will be a road closure on Moorgate / Northgate for approximately 2 weeks, from 30th January 2023 to 17th February 2023. The road closure may be extended if difficulties in the mains configuration is identified once works start. Traffic will divert to The Grove, West Lane, Lucy Hall Drive, Glen Road, Bingley Road and then back on to Hawksworth Road. Signs will be displayed for motorists and a full signed diversion put in place.

VMS signs are in situ, providing motorists with advanced notification.

While majority of the work will be carried out in the street, engineers will need to access customer properties to complete the project and ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas.

Chris Green, Business Operations Lead for Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it is vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Bradford.”

“We want to assure residents and road users that we will be working hard to complete this essential scheme as safely and as quickly as possible.”
