Roadworks on Harrogate's Ripon Road delayed for third time
The completion date for the Northern Gas Networks roadworks on Ripon Road in Harrogate has been put back again.
Traffic lights were initially due to operate for four weeks from September 6 on the busy route into Harrogate town centre for what the company described as "essential work to modernise the gas network in Harrogate".
But they were still in place when a major gas leak, which affected 3,000 homes for 48 hours, occurred on October 15.
North Yorkshire County Council has already granted roadwork extensions until October 22 and October 28.
Now Northern Gas Networks has said it expects work to continue throughout this week.
Scott Kitchingman, business operations manager at Northern Gas Networks, said:
Northern Gas Networks said on October 17 it would carry out a "full investigation" into the gas leak but it has not released any details since, despite requests from the Stray Ferret.
