Northern Gas Networks (NGN) will be extending its gas mains replacement work on the A58 in Halifax until at least the 25th April. Calderdale Council has been made aware of the project extension.
Steve Pigott, NGN engineer for the project said: “We would like to apologise for any inconvenience this work may be causing customers and thank everyone for their patience while we work to complete the replacement as a safely and quickly as we can.
“Our engineers have been working in the area since 3rd April to replace ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes, which aims to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Halifax. Unfortunately this is a complex project that has been hampered by multiple engineering issues and poor weather.
“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, and thank them for bearing with us in the meantime.”
Three-way traffic lights will remain at the junction of New Bank and Godley Lane on the A58 so that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public.
