We’re carrying out essential work in Halifax to replace ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes. This work will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected.
The project, which is expected to last until the start of August, has been planned in collaboration with East Riding of Calderdale Council. So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect members of the public, some traffic management measures will be put in place.
Work Details
From Monday 29 June, a rolling road closure will be in place on Queen’s Road. The closure will start at the junction of Parkinson Lane, and move south, ending at the junction of Lombard Street.
A fully signed diversion for motorists will be in place in advance of the work starting.
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 Halifax.
“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.”
