Drivers warned of works on major Doncaster road during Yorkshire Water upgrade
Drivers in Doncaster are being warned of roadworks on a major route in the city as part of Yorkshire Water upgrades to a pumping station and pipework.
The firm has announced a £1.3 million upgrade for its Hungerhill Lane Sewage Pumping Station in Edenthorpe which will connect up with the Sandall Sewage Treatment Works on Wheatley Hall Road.
The project is part of £22m investment plan to upgrade rising mains - pipes that carry pumped sewage and wastewater - at 66 different sites on the wastewater network, across the county in the next five years.
Contract partner Peter Duffy Ltd (PDL) started initial survey work on 12 January to replace 1.1km of pipework that connects Hungerhill Lane SPS to Sandall Sewage Treatment Works.
From Monday 2 to Friday 6 February, contractors will be working on Barnby Dun Road from the junction with Clay Lane West to the junction with Hungerhill Lane.
The work will be completed overnight from 8pm to 6am with temporary traffic lights in place.
Bus stops will be suspended and temporary ones will be in place during the duration of the works.
Work will also take place on Clay Lane roundabout from 9-11 February.
A spokesperson said: “We’re carrying out investigation work to map underground assets ahead of our planned upgrade of Hungerhill Sewage Pumping Station and the pipework to Sandall Sewage Treatment Works. ”Our contactor Peter Duffy will be completing these investigations on our behalf. To minimise disruption to businesses and traffic we will be completing this work overnight from 8pm to 6pm.”
