Temporary traffic lights will return to a Workington road as work continues to replace gas pipes in the town.
From Monday, January 5, temporary traffic lights will again be in place on Westfield Drive, near the junctions of Needham Drive and Crummock Road.
It is estimated they will be in place for around three weeks.
Northern Gas Networks, the gas distributor for the North of England, is replacing ageing metal pipework with new, more durable plastic pipes.
The project, expected to last until around the end of January, has been planned in collaboration with Cumberland Council.
Dan Hind, operations manager at 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 Workington.
“We did originally plan for this section of our ongoing project in Workington to be completed before Christmas, but the work proved to be more complex than we anticipated.”
Temporary traffic lights on the section of road were removed on December 19 for the Christmas break.
The lights will be manned at peak times.
