Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is to carry out essential work in Ormesby, Middlesbrough 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 Ormesby, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected.
The project, which is expected to last until around the end of March, has been planned in collaboration with Middlesbrough Borough Council. So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, some traffic management measures are being put in place.
From Monday 5 January, temporary traffic lights will be in place on Ormesby Bank from the junction of Ainstable Road, moving in 100 metre sections up to The Piped Piper pub. The lights will be manned at peak times to minimise disruption.
David Cook, Site Manager at Northern Gas Networks, said: “We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it’s vital we complete them to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Middlesbrough.”
