Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential work to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Hull.
The ageing metal pipework is being upgraded to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now while getting the network ready to transport alternative greener fuels in the future.
The essential work, which has been planned in collaboration with Hull City Council, will begin on Wednesday 14 February and is expected to take 3 weeks to complete.
So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, a temporary road closure will be in place on Endike Lane at the Greenwood Avenue / Hall Road roundabout from tomorrow (Wednesday 14 February). The closure will be in place throughout the duration of the project and a signed diversion will be in place for motorists.
Scott Kitchingman, 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 Hull.
“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.”
