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
Between Monday 18th May and Monday 1st June 2026, Stripe Lane will be closed to facilitate the reinstatement of our construction access point.
Please be assured that access to properties on Stripe Lane itself will be unaffected. Only those requiring access to Overton village will be asked to follow the diversion. Cyclists will be allowed passage where it is safe to do so, although they will be asked to dismount whilst passing through the works area.
We recognise there may be some disruption for local residents and road users, but the team is committed to doing as much as possible to minimise any impact. We will also be issuing a mailout to local residents to ensure they are aware of the closure in advance.
