Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential work in Goole to replace the ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes.
This work will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Goole, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected.
The project, which is expected to last until the end of January, has been planned in collaboration with East Riding of Yorkshire 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.
From Monday 5 January, temporary traffic lights are in place on Rawcliffe Road/A614, near the junction of Andersen Road. To minimise disruption and reduce delays, the lights will be manned from 7am-7pm.
Chris Reed, Central Business Operations Lead at Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused during these essential works. We had initially planned to finish the work before Christmas, but due to operational challenges we’ve had to return to complete them.
“This is vital work to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to homes and businesses in Goole, and we’d like to thank residents and motorists for their patience. Our teams are working as quickly as possible to finish the project.”
