Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is to carry out essential road resurfacing work in Garforth now they have replaced the ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes.
The project, which is expected to last for around a week, has been planned in collaboration with Leeds City Council, and timed to coincide with the school holidays to minimise disruption. 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 4 August, Ninelands Lane in Garforth will be closed between the junctions of Hazelwood Avenue and Derwent Avenue. Temporary traffic lights will be in place at the junction with Hazelwood Avenue to ensure access is maintained for residents of Hazelwood Avenue.
A signed diversion will be in place for motorists, and pedestrian access will be fully maintained throughout the work.
Steve Taylor, Site Manager at Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during this resurfacing work, which is necessary now we have completed the gas pipe replacement work. ”
