Mott McDonald Bentley will start work on Yorkshire Water's behalf to prepare the site for demolition, beginning on Monday, November 12.

The scheme is expected to take six weeks to complete.

The company has worked closely with the highways department and on Monday Grange Lane will be closed to traffic travelling east between Allenby Crescent and Queen Mary's Road for the safety of road users. This closure will be in place 24 hours a day during the duration of the works.

A signed diversion route will be in place via King George's Road, Earl Avenue, Duke Avenue and Queen Mary's Road.

Bus services will also be diverted. Travel South Yorkshire will be placing information boards at its bus stops and if passengers have any further questions they can contact its helpline on 01709 515151.
