Months of traffic chaos warning as roadworks set to start on busy Sheffield road

Gas distribution firm Cadent is warning of serious disruption under roadworks plans on a busy Sheffield road.

The company, which looks after a network of pipes for British Gas, says delays are likely under plans for three months of roadworks along the main road through Crookes.

The company has brought in an electronic board to warn road users of the threat of disruption, which they have placed in a central island near the Grindstone pub, near the junction with Lydgate Lane.

It states: “Cadent Gas essential work starts here July 27 for 18 weeks.”

Their website states that delays are expected, with multi-way traffic lights set to be on the site.
