A major west Hull road is set to close for a week next month while gas works take place.
Northern Gas Networks (NGN) is carrying out work to replace ageing metal pipework with more durable plastic pipes which it says “will ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Hull, keeping homes and businesses safe, warm and connected”.
As part of the project Calvert Lane will close from Saturday, February 15 until Sunday, February 23. A signed diversion will be in place for motorists, while access will be maintained where possible.
A lane closure is also planned on Anlaby Road – between Calvert Lane and the railway bridge – from Monday, March 17 until Tuesday, April 29. NGN say the traffic management measures are necessary so engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public. The project as a whole is expected to last around 18 weeks.
Chris Keith, operations manager 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.”
