St Helens Road closure delayed (again)

The closure of St Helens Road for a two-week period for gas main replacement work – and the subsequent re-routing of the number 4 bus – has been delayed for a second time.

The closure was due to come into effect from 1 March, but that was then postponed until 15 March. And now it has been delayed again, with no clue as to when the closure will come into effect.

Northern Gas Networks is about to start work to upgrade ageing metal gas mains in York city centre.
The project is part of Northern Gas Network’s on-going development of infrastructure across the north of England and will involve replacing existing metallic gas mains with more durable plastic pipes to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the area for years to come.
The eight week project will start on 5 January and take place on Nunnery Lane, Bishopthorpe Road and Scarcroft Road. On Nunnery Lane, it will be necessary to close one lane of the carriageway to allow the essential work to be completed.
A signed diversion route will be in place.
Temporary traffic lights will be in place on Bishopthorpe Road and Scarcroft Road.
Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times throughout the duration of the essential work and businesses will remain open as usual.
