## Key points

- Gas works on Lydgate Lane, Crookes, to last around 18 weeks from 27 July
- Multi-way traffic lights will cause delays for commuters
- Cadent has posted warning boards near Lydgate Lane ahead of works

## Summary

Cadent, the gas network operator that supplies British Gas customers, has confirmed essential maintenance work on a main road through Sheffield's Crookes district, near Lydgate Lane, running for around 18 weeks from 27 July. Temporary traffic management will be in place throughout on a route heavily used by commuters, meaning residents and drivers face months of likely disruption.

The scheme involves installing multi-way traffic lights, which is expected to cause noticeable delays for road users passing through the area. Cadent has already erected electronic warning boards at key junctions, including one near the Grindstone pub close to Lydgate Lane, to give drivers advance notice ahead of the works starting.
