A spokeswoman for Northern Powergrid said: "Our specially trained engineers will excavate a trench and install new cables in the highway footpath.

"Safety barriers will be in place to create a temporary footpath for local residents and traffic management will be in place whilst a section of the inside lane of the carriageway is temporarily closed.

“Our teams will do all they can to minimise disruption for motorists and the community whilst we carry out this required work and we thank local residents for their patience.”
