Northern Gas Networks gives end date for work on Harrogate's Skipton Road
Northern Gas Networks has said roadworks on one of Harrogate's busiest routes will end in eight days.
Skipton Road has been plagued by temporary traffic lights in recent years while the gas distribution company replaces metal pipes with plastic ones.
But the end is in sight, according to Mark Mawhood, operations manager at Northern Gas Networks.
Mr Mawhood said:
“I can confirm that we are in the final stages of the works in Harrogate. Next week we will begin work at the junction of Bilton Grange Close and Skipton Road.
“We will need to put in place a half and half road crossing on Skipton Rd with two-way lights in place, these works will be completed by Friday, November 3.
“After this section has been completed, the project to carry out essential work to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in Harrogate will come to an end.
“We apologise for inconvenience caused by the number of works we have had recently in the area but due to the mains configurations, the traffic management has been unavoidable.”
Northern Gas Networks also said in a statement its seven-week programme in Harrogate town centre, which is due to end on November 20, "is currently running to schedule".
