Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential repair work on gas pipes in Gateshead.
This work will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Gateshead, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected.
So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, some temporary traffic management measures have been put in place.
From Thursday 15 January, Lowrey’s Lane is closed at the junction of Kells Lane and Lowrey’s Lane. There is a clearly signed diversion in place for motorists.
Andrew Coates, Site Manager at Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it’s vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of this area of Gateshead.
“We do not currently have a completion date for this work, which means the road closure will remain in place until the work is completed.”
For further information about the work please contact NGN’s Customer Care Team on 0800 040 7766 or email: customercare@northerngas.co.uk.
