'Operational challenges' delay major Harrogate roadworks
The completion of seven weeks of roadworks in Harrogate town centre has been delayed, Northern Gas Networks has said.
The company has been replacing metal pipes with plastic pipes on some of the main routes, including Parliament Street, King’s Road and Cold Bath Road.
The project was due to end yesterday but Mark Mawhood, operations manager for Northern Gas Networks, said:
"I can confirm that the extensive work taking place in Harrogate will be completed this week.
"We will however need to return to complete a small section of the network, which due to some operational challenges could not be completed in the timeframe. The planning team is currently working on dates for when this work will be caried out and we will then notify the public and media once this is scheduled.
“We apologise for inconvenience caused during these works, and we thank the public for their patience during this large-scale scheme.”
The roadworks are the second phase of delayed works that were “paused” a year ago.
