The latest phase in the renewal of old cast iron gas mains will take place in York Road, Douglas from Monday, August 6 until Friday, August 10 while Manx Gas carries out the work.
It will mean a lane closure on York Road from the junction with Somerset Road to the traffic lights at Woodbourne Road.
Diversion signage will be in place until the work is completed but ‘No Parking’ is not required as there are double yellow lines on that stretch of York Road.
“The work is to disconnect the old three-inch cast iron gas main as all gas now goes through a 180mm polyethylene main which was laid in the foot walk some years ago,” said Manx Gas commercial director John Davies.
“We apologise for any inconvenience this essential work will cause but it is in the interests of safety that the old gas main is disconnected,” he added.
