Elland Road: Northern Gas works to see lane closures in place outside Leeds United stadium

Northern Gas Networks (NGN), the gas distributor for the North of England, is carrying out essential work in Beeston, Leeds to replace ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes.

The pipework is being replaced by new, more durable plastic pipes, to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now and in the future.

The project, which began in September, has been planned in collaboration with Leeds City Council.

Chris Reed, 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’s vital we complete them to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Leeds.”

Traffic management measures will be put in place outside Elland Road stadium during the works, to ensure that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently.

Advance warning signs will be put in place prior to works starting.

• From Monday, February 3 until Friday, February 7, work will move to the junction of Elland Road and Lowfields Road South for one week.
• There will be a lane closure on Elland Road which may affect traffic travelling on Elland Road towards the roundabout.
