Construction is progressing well. In summer 2024, we began preparing our sites for construction. Our work included establishing construction compounds and creating access tracks to our sites.
Main construction work began in early 2025 and is underway, with new pylons being assembled and erected across the route and the construction of our new substation sites.
The new infrastructure will be operational in 2027 and final works and reinstatement anticipated to be complete by the end of 2028.
Construction work is taking place in different phases along the Yorkshire GREEN route. You can find out more about the work happening in different areas by looking at our interactive map.
Whilst work across the route continues, our team is doing all they can to minimise any inconvenience caused by our works, however, given the nature of the activity, it is possible that there will be disruption in some areas.
On this page, you will find the latest updates from across the route and details of upcoming traffic management.

Upcoming and existing traffic management
To ensure the safe and timely completion of our preparatory works, we will need to put some traffic management measures in place around the areas we are working in. You can also view upcoming and existing traffic management on our interactive map.
Stripe Lane, Overton
We previously said that between Monday 18 May and Monday 1 June 2026, Stripe Lane would be closed to allow a construction access point to be reopened.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen delays in the planned works, this traffic management will now take place between Monday 8th June and Sunday 21st June 2026.
A section of Stripe Lane in Overton will be closed to all traffic. We expect the work to be completed by Sunday 21st June, but please be aware that this date may be subject to change.
A diversion route will be in place for the duration of the work, with signage in place to inform road users of an alternative route.
Please be assured that the section of road between the properties on Stripe Lane and the A19 will still be accessible. Vehicles requiring access to Overton village will need to follow the diversion during the construction work.
