Yorkshire and North East - Maintenance schemes

Work

We’re improving journeys in Northumberland by resurfacing the A1 southbound dual carriageway near Brownieside.

We’re also refreshing road markings and studs on the stretch of dual carriageway, between Wandylaw and North Charlton.

Closures and diversions

To keep drivers and the workforce safe, there will be a number of closures both north and southbound:

Work will begin on 14 July and is scheduled to finish on Friday 25 July.

• A 24-hour lane closure of lane 1 southbound
• A 24-hour lane closure of lane 2 northbound
• Closure of some side roads and central reserve crossings at night (8pm – 6am)
• A traffic light and convoy system on the A1 southbound 

Access from west side of A1 - North Charlton and Brownieside 

• The Brownieside junction will be closed on weeknights (8pm – 6am) between 14 and 19 July. 

People will be able to access and exit from North Charlton, with traffic being able to turn north and south.

Wednesday 16 July 

Preston Tower Road will be closed to allow resurfacing across the junction. Traffic will follow local diversions.

During these closures, we strongly advise people to plan more time for their journey.

Monday 21 July

• North Charlton junction will be closed on weeknights (8pm-6am) with access to and from the A1 from the Brownieside junction
• Access to east side of A1 (except North Charlton)
• All central reservation gaps will be closed

To access Preston Tower Junction from the A1, motorists will be diverted north to:

• Warrenford Village before turning round to travel back south, travelling through the roadworks before turning left on to Preston Tower.

We've done all we can to keep disruption to a minimum. However, we apologise in advance for any inconvenience and delays caused while we carry out this work

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We’re making good progress on our ground survey works, with the lane closure on the A1 northbound lifted overnight on 20 June, ahead of schedule.

From the night of Monday 23 June, we’ll install the lane closure on the A1 southbound. This will be in place from 200m north of the southbound entry slip at St Leonard’s interchange (Morpeth Northern Bypass) to 200m south of Belsay Road. 

These works will also require the installation of traffic signals and convoy (night-time only) from 8pm on Tuesday 24 June. These will be removed by 6am each morning.

The surveys are helping us to find out more about soft soils underlying the embankment and carriageway. 

Although there is no current risk to the carriageway, the surveys will help determine if there are any additional measures we need to take to minimise any future disruption. 

We need to use exploratory bore holes drilled through the carriageway, verges and embankment. However, due to the depths the bore holes need to be drilled to, we will need to have daytime single lane closures. These will protect any open excavations to keep drivers and the workforce safe.

These closures will be in place 24 hours a day, Monday – Friday, until 10 July. The closure will be removed at weekends, with traffic management lifted at 6am on Saturday morning and reinstalled on Monday at 8pm. 

We have looked at a number of options for carrying this work out safely and have worked to keep any disruption to a minimum. 

Please continue to allow extra time for your journey, especially around peak travel periods.

We’re renewing the road surface on the A1 in Northumberland between West Moor and Felton. We’re resurfacing the main carriageway, both north and southbound, as well as two laybys.

This work will begin on Monday 2 June and is expected to finish in early July, weather permitting.

To keep drivers and the workforce safe, the road will be down to one lane controlled by traffic signals and convoy. This will be in place every weeknight, 8pm - 6pm, during the work. 

In addition, we'll be working overnight on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 June.

We'll also need to occasionally close some side roads while this work is carried out. Diversions will be in place during any closures.

There will be a 40mph daytime speed restriction in place and closures of the laybys within the works area.

Please allow extra time for your journeys as we carry out this work. 

We’re creating smoother journeys by resurfacing part of the A1(M) in North and West Yorkshire.

From Monday 9 June, we'll resurface the northbound and southbound carriageways between York Rd, Wetherby, and Walshford, between junctions 45 (Boston Spa) and 47 (Allerton Park / Harrogate).

Work will start on the northbound carriageway, with the carriageway closed overnight, between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday. The weeknight closures will take place over a period of four weeks.

This will be followed by a further four weeks of weeknight closures on the southbound carriageway.

The closures will take place in phases. They will be between junction 45 (Boston Spa) to junction 46 (Wetherby), junction 45 to junction 48 (Boroughbridge) or junction 46 to junction 48.

At the same time, we will use the overnight closures to carry out some further maintenance on the A1(M) in this area.

Fully signed overnight diversion routes will be in place.
Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England website. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

From Monday 14 July 2025, we’re resurfacing the A194(M) southbound between Whitemare Pool Roundabout and the junction with the A1(M). 

We are also resurfacing Whitemare Pool Roundabout itself.

In addition, we’re refreshing road markings and studs as well as replacing bridge joints and traffic detector loops in the area.

To reduce disruption, we’ll be carrying out this work on weeknights (Monday – Friday, 8pm – 6am). We may use weekends as a contingency if we’re unable to progress works during the week for any reason.

This programme of work is expected to be completed by the end of October 2025.

This will be carried out in phases:

Phase 1A – Whitemare Pool Roundabout (West): 14 to 18 July 2025

This will require the following closures and diversions:

• A194(M) northbound closed at junction 2 Follingsby Interchange 
• There will be no access to Whitemare Pool Roundabout from the A184 eastbound
• A194(M) northbound traffic will be diverted onto the A195, A1231 and A19. The diversion would end at the Lindisfarne Roundabout (A19/A194 junction).
• A194(M) northbound to A184 westbound traffic diverted on New Road and Lingey Lane to rejoin the A184 on Felling Bypass.
• A194 southbound to A184 westbound non-motorway traffic diverted on B1306/ Mill Lane and A185/Shields Road to rejoin A184 at Heworth.
• A194 southbound to A184 westbound motorway traffic will be diverted south on A194(M) to junction 2, and then on New Road and Lingey Lane to rejoin the A184 on Felling Bypass.

Phase 1B – Whitemare Pool Roundabout (East): 21 to 24 July 2025

• A194 southbound closed at the B1306/Mill Lane roundabout
• No access to Whitemare Pool Roundabout from the A184 westbound
• A194 southbound traffic will be routed on the A19, A1231 and A195 to rejoin A194(M) at junction 2. 
• A184 westbound to A194(M) southbound traffic will be directed to continue on A184. Traffic will be directed to exit at the next junction onto Lingey Lane and New Road to rejoin the A194(M) at junction 2.
• A194(M) northbound and A195 northbound to A184 eastbound traffic will be diverted onto New Road, Lingey Lane and Sunderland Road to rejoin the A184 EB on Felling Bypass.

During the following phases, we will close the A194(M) between the junctions as below, with traffic being diverted using A184, A195, A182, A19 and A1231:

Phase 2 – Whitemare Pool to Follingsby Interchange: 25 July - 15 Aug
Phase 3 – Follingsby interchange to Havannah interchange: 18 Aug - 2 Oct
Phase 4 – Havannah interchange to A1(M): 3 - 27 Oct

No work will take place during the August bank holiday and Great North Run weekends.

Please plan your routes in advance and allow more time for your journey if you’re planning to travel in the area. 

Some of this work will be unavoidably noisy. We will do everything we can to minimise disruption but would like to apologise in advance for any disturbance caused by this much needed work.

From Tuesday 27 May, we'll carry out overnight resurfacing works on the A628 in both directions between Crowden and Salters Brook Bridge.

This will ensure the route remains safe and smooth and will minimise future disruption. The work is currently scheduled to be complete at the end of August 2025.

While work takes place, there will be a full closure on the A628 between A57 Gun Inn junction and A616/A628 Flouch Roundabout. The road will be closed Sunday – Thursday overnight, each night between 8pm and 6am. We will not be working on Friday or Saturday nights.

We will retain local access to Hollingworth and Tintwistle at the west end of the route and the Dog & Partridge, which will remain open as usual, at the east end.

Diversions will be fully signed.

Westbound diversion

Traffic travelling westbound will be diverted onto the M1 northbound from junction 36 (Tankersley), then onto the M62 westbound towards the M60 clockwise at Denton.

Westbound local traffic will be diverted onto the A616 northbound from Flouch, onto the A635 westbound and the A6018 southbound at Stalybridge.

Eastbound diversion

Eastbound traffic will be diverted onto the M60 anticlockwise and M62 eastbound at junction 18, before joining the M1 southbound at junction 29 (Lofthouse) and then travelling southbound to J35/J36.

Wall repairs west of Crowden: 8 – 16 June 2025

We'll be repairing a retaining wall on the A628 west of Crowden following damage caused by an earlier vehicle strike.

The works require scaffolding to be installed to the rear of the wall. This will provide a safe working area to carry out the repairs.

Temporary vertical concrete barriers will be installed throughout the scheme to protect the workforce and the public.

This will mean two-way signals between Tintwistle and Crowden, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, between 8 and 16 June. There will also be a reduced speed of 40mph through the area.

Please allow more time for your journey as these works are carried out.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We need to repair a cascade alongside the A628 at Woodhead. The Woodhead Cascade is a series of stone steps that carries water from a culvert under the A628 down to the stream feeding Woodhead Reservoir. 

They’re located on the A628 between the Woodhead Station access road and Salter’s Brook bridge. 

Earlier this year, we found some of the stone steps had moved, allowing water to escape onto the surrounding hillside and risking erosion of the embankment. 

We need to stabilise the structure before the expected high water flows this winter, to prevent any further damage caused by water flowing through the embankment, and to protect the nearby carriageway.

We'll begin ground repair and stabilisation work from Monday 21 July. The work needs to take place during the day due to working on a steep embankment. We'll carry this out using two-way lights on the A628 from 7am to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday.

This work is expected to be complete in early October. We'll share further updates as they are confirmed. 

This is expected to cause delays in the area, especially around peak travel times.

We are replacing the safety barrier and upgrading the lighting between South Cave and North Ferriby. We are also resurfacing the footbridge at Elloughton.

Closures

To work safely, we'll use weeknight closures on east and westbound carriageways (between 8pm and 6am).

To start, we'll be working from July to August 2024, though we'll continue until Spring 2025.

We'll alternate east and westbound closures. To minimise disruption, we won't fully close  the road in both directions at the same time.

During July, we'll use a 40mph speed limit on this section of the road, with average speed cameras.

We'll put signed diversions in place.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England site. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

Works

We’re resurfacing and making improvements to drainage on the A63 eastbound entry slip road (A15 Western Interchange) near Humber Bridge. 

Closures and diversions

Monday 21 July (8pm to 6am) - North Ferriby road closed

• Drivers will be diverted by the A63 westbound at Western Interchange towards Melton, and back onto the A63 eastbound.

Monday 28 July (8pm to 6am) - A15 from the Boothferry/Ferriby road roundabout 

• Eastbound traffic will be diverted by the A1105 (Boothferry Road) and the A116 (Hessle Road) back onto the A63.

After this date, we'll revert back to the diversion for North Ferriby high road by the A63.

We’re looking to replace the existing solar-powered traffic islands with mains-powered ones.

To do this safely, we'll need to close both lanes of the A64 in phases around the Crambeck Village area. 

The carriageway will be under temporary traffic signal control and single lane running for works between the A64 junction with Castle Howard Station Road and 200 metres east of Crambeck Village. Both lanes will be accessible during the day. 

Works will be carried out during weekdays between 10pm and 6am.

Work will start on 12 June and will end by early August, weather permitting.

Some of this work will be unavoidably noisy. We we'll do everything we can to minimise disruption but would like to apologise in advance for any disturbance caused by this much needed work.

Work

We’re carrying out technical surveys along the A64 in North Yorkshire near Malton ahead of a proposed safety barrier scheme in this area.

To protect drivers and the workforce, we'll need to have in place a series of overnight closures on the A64 between Musley Bank and Brambling Fields.

Closures and diversions

Overnight closures are between (8pm and 6am) 

Week commencing 7 - 11 July (five nights)

• Full closure of the A64 eastbound between Musley Bank and Brambling Fields.
• This will also include the closure of the eastbound access slip from the Old Malton junction with the B1257.

Diversion

Traffic will be diverted via:

• the main carriageway onto the B1248 York Road, Yorkersgate, before turning right on to Castlegate
• then onto Church Street, and Scarborough Road,
• rejoining the A64 at the Brambling Fields junction. 

The diversion for the eastbound access slip will be via:

• the B1257, Town Street Old Malton, Old Malton Road
• and left onto Castle Gate where it joins the above route.

In addition, there will be a westbound lane 2 closure on the full length of dual carriageway in this section.

14 – 21 July (six nights on weeknights only)

• Full closure of the A64 eastbound from Musley Bank to the Old Malton junction.
• The access slip will remain open.

Diversion

Traffic will be diverted via:

• the B1248 and the B1257
• before joining Town Street Old Malton
• Old Malton Road, Town Street Old Malton
• before rejoining at the Old Malton junction.

There will be an additional westbound lane 2 closure on this stretch of the dual carriageway.

22 July – one night

• Full closure of the A64 westbound from the Old Malton junction to Musley Bank.
• The Musley Bank access slip will remain open.

Diversion

Traffic will be diverted:

• from the Old Malton junction via the B1257,
• Town Street Old Malton, Old Malton Road, Yorkers Gate, York Road B1248
• before rejoining at the Musley westbound access slip.

There will be an additional eastbound lane 2 closure for 1km from the Old Malton junction. 

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We're carrying out important drainage works on the A64 in North Yorkshire from 26 May:

Sherburn 

We need to carry out drainage works in this area. This will enable a safer network.

To do this safely, we'll need to close the eastbound lane on the A64 adjacent to the fire station in Sherburn Village. We’ll still maintain access through the works using temporary traffic lights. Works will be carried out during weekdays between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

Preparatory works will start on 26 May, before the drainage works begin on 9 June. Please note, this has been updated from an earlier advertised date of 2 June. This is expected to be completed by early July.

Rillington

We're also carrying out important drainage work in Rillington Village. 

To do this safely, we will have temporary traffic lights at the junction of Pine Tree Avenue/Sands Lane and its junction with the A64.

We'll also be using temporary traffic lights on the A64 around 100 metres west of the junction of Collinsons Lane.

Work will be carried out during weekdays between 9.30am and 3.30pm.

Preparatory work will start on 2 June for three days. The drainage upgrades themselves will then begin on 23 June. The scheme will finish by the end of July, weather permitting.

To help alleviate traffic congestion on the A64 caused by the current drainage works in Rillington, from Wednesday 16 July, we'll be rescheduling the works for weekdays between 6pm and 11pm, when traffic levels are lower.

The work is scheduled to finish in mid-August.

Unfortunately, some of this work will be unavoidably noisy. While we will do everything we can to minimise disruption, we're sorry for any disturbance and inconvenience caused by this work.

The bridge carrying the A640 New Hey Road over the M62 near junction 22 (Outlane) remains in single-lane running. This is due to significant corrosion, which means that the bridge is unable to safely open to two lanes of traffic.

We're still monitoring the structure every three months to ensure there are no critical signs of potential structural failure. We can continue to maintain single lane running to normal traffic, however, the traffic management will need to stay in place until a permanent solution for the structure is implemented, which is likely to be 2027 at the earliest. In the future, we may need to enforce a further weight restriction to keep the bridge safe to use.

We’re now looking into longer-term options. These include further localised strengthening works to maintain a weight limit of 44 tonnes ahead of a permanent replacement of the entire bridge.

We will share further updates, including any changes to weight restrictions, timescales for further works and any plans for replacement of the structure, as they are confirmed.

We'll be resurfacing the eastbound carriageway of the A66 between Hartforth and Scotch Corner.

To do this safely we'll be using phased overnight (8pm to 6am) closures.

Diversion routes suitable for local residents, general traffic and HGVs will be clearly signed.

We'll also be closing laybys 24/7 as needed.

Phase one – soft closure from Browson bank to Mainsgill farm (residents access) full closure from Mainsgill Farm to Winston crossroads – 28 July to 8 August

Phase two – soft closure from Browson bank to Mainsgill farm (residents access) full closure from Mainsgill Farm to Melsonby – 8 August to 26 August

Phase three and four – soft closure from Browson bank to Mainsgill farm (residents access) full eastbound closure Melsonby to Scotch Corner – 26 August to 17 September 

We'll work hard to keep crossovers open for local traffic but will need to close fully on occasions. These closures will be signed locally.

We'll also be closing laybys 24/7 as needed. 

Works

To reduce disruption, we’ll be carrying out this work on:

• Monday to Friday from 8pm to 6am. 

We may use weekends if we’re unable to progress works during the week.

• During the works a 24/7 40mph speed limit will be in place to protect road users while the central safety barrier is incomplete.
• This speed limit will be enforced by average speed cameras.

Whilst working, we'll need to close one side of the A66 and have lane closures in place on the other carriageway. This allows us to work in multiple locations safely reducing the length of time we need to be on site. 

For most of the time, any closures will be between Long Newton and Elton. There may be occasions when the closures will need to be extended to enable us to carry out other works.

Diversion

Eastbound diversion

• south on Mill Lane
• onto the A67 to Eaglescliffe
• then the A135/A1027 to re-join the A66 at Preston Farm

Westbound diversion

• traffic will diverted left/south onto Durham Lane
• then on the A67 towards Darlington
• before being routed north onto Mill Lane to re-join A66 at Long Newton 

High sided vehicles will follow the existing route for both closures using Urlay Nook Road. 

We'll escort residents who live within the closures and maintain access for emergency vehicles throughout.

To avoid disruption to local villages, please use these routes.

Work

We’re resurfacing the A69 between Corbridge and Newcastle, creating safer journeys in this area.

Closures and diversions

Work will take place over four weeks from the 4 August to 29 August (7pm - 7am) weeknights only.

This work will be carried out in phases in the following areas:

• Bays Leap eastbound near Heddon
• Horsley to Heddon eastbound
• Nafferton to Ovington westbound
• Styford Roundabout to Shaw House near Corbridge
• Stagshaw Interchange westbound entry slip near Corbridge

To keep drivers and the workforce safe, we'll need overnight lane closures, with a convoy system in place. 

When surfacing is carried out at Horsley to Heddon and Stagshaw slip road, adjoining slip roads will be closed with a diversion route clearly indicated.

There will also be 50mph and 10mph speed restrictions during the lane closures as needed.

If you’re planning to travel in the area during these closures, please allow more time for your journey.

Please note that works are weather dependent, so dates are subject to change.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

The bridge carrying Greenland Lane over the M18, between junctions 6 (Waterside) and 7 (Langham), remains closed to motorised vehicles and is unfortunately not expected to be able to reopen for at least two years. 

This is due to complex structural defects which mean we need to close it to motorised traffic for everyone’s safety until 2027 at the very earliest. The bridge is still safe for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians to use. 

We’re progressing a detailed structural assessment to establish its load capacity and enable us to find out the next steps we need to take, which could include one of the following options:

• Repair the structure
• Prop the structure to allow it to remain open
• Demolish and replace the bridge with a new one entirely 

We'll establish a course of action and share updates as soon as they are available. 

We understand that this closure is causing disruption to regular road users in the area, especially with other roadworks taking place within the area. We liaise with the local authority regularly to ensure as little disruption caused as possible. Please be assured, we're doing everything we can to resolve the issues and either safely reopen or replace the bridge as soon as we're able to.

Diversion routes

During the closure, traffic is being diverted via Greenland Lane, Johnny Moor Long Lane, Moorends Road, North Common Road, Selby Road and Thorne Road.

Work

We’re carrying out important upgrades to the central barrier on the M18 in South Yorkshire between junctions 5 (North Ings) and 6 (Waterside). 

Some sections of the barrier are now approaching the end of their useful life and need to be replaced. 

This work is expected to continue for around four months in total.

To carry out this work safely, we will need to install narrow lanes on this stretch. This will mean we can keep the same number of lanes open throughout, without reducing capacity.

Closures

To install the traffic management needed, we will need to have full overnight closures as follows:

18 May

Full closure M18 northbound between junctions 4 (West Moor) and 5 for surfacing repairs (9pm-6am)

Diversion

Traffic travelling from the M18 junction 4 to 5 will:

• exit onto the junction 4 northbound slip road.
• Motorists will then be diverted onto the A630, Hatfield Lane,
• before following the A18 Thorne Road northbound.
• Drivers will then take the M180 junction 1 slip road onto the M180 westbound and then onto the M18 junction 5. 

M18 Junction 4 to 5 diversion map

We'll then have the following full closures to install narrow lanes:

19 and 21 May

M18 southbound between junctions 6 and 5 (8pm – 6am)

20 and 22 May

M18 southbound between junction 5 and junction 4 (9pm - 6am)

27 and 29 May

M18 northbound junctions 4 and 5 (9pm – 6am)

28 and 30 May

M18 northbound between junctions 5 and 6 (8pm - 6am)

Diversion

Traffic travelling from the M18 junction 5 to junction 6 will:

• exit onto the M180 junction 1 eastbound before being directed to take the A18 eastbound (High Levels Bank).
• Then follow the A161 northbound before joining the M62 westbound at junction 36.
• At the M62 westbound junction 35 slip road, take the M18 southbound. 

M18 Junction 5 to 6 diversion map

Further updates will be shared as they are confirmed.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We’re resurfacing the M180 westbound between junctions 5 (Barnetby) and 4 (Broughton), creating smoother and safer journeys on this stretch of the road. As part of this work, we’ll also be resurfacing the junction 5 westbound entry slip.

We’re also replacing bridge joints on Elsham Railway Bridge and the bridge over the River Ancholme.

This work will begin on the evening of Monday 14 July and is expected to continue until 21 August. It will be carried out on weeknights between 8pm until 6am the following morning. 

During the weekend of 18-21 July, there will also be a daytime lane 1 closure (of three) throughout this stretch for a 2km section. 

Diversions will be fully signed. Traffic will be diverted off junction 5 to take the A18 westbound through Wrawby and Brigg. They will then take the first exit at Briggate Lodge Roundabout onto the A15 before rejoining the M180 at junction 4.

If you're planning to travel in this area during the closures, please allow more time for your journey.

Work

We're undertaking ground surveys on the M62 between junction 22 (Rockingstone Moss, Saddleworth) and junction 23 (Outlane Interchange). 

Work will be carried out on the eastbound hard shoulder, and also the eastbound and westbound carriageway verges. 

Closures

The following closures are scheduled between junction 22 and junction 23:

• overnight eastbound lane 1 and 2 closures from 8pm 8 July to 6am 5 August
• 24/7 eastbound hard shoulder closure from 8pm 8 July to 6am 5 August
• overnight westbound lane 2 and 3 closures from 8pm 8 July to 6am 1 August
• overnight eastbound lane 2 and 3 closures from 8pm 5 August to 6am 15 August

To carry out these surveys safely, we need to close part of the eastbound hard shoulder between junction 22 and junction 23. 

In addition, we will have a mixture of overnight (8pm to 6am) lane closures on both the eastbound and westbound carriageways.

We do not anticipate any need for full closures of the main carriageway.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England website. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

Works

We'll need to close the footbridge for six weeks while we work, starting on 24 August.
 
We'll re-open it for pedestrians on Leeds United FC match days.
 
We expect to finish work on 31 August 2025. If we need to work beyond this date, we'll give pedestrians access during school start and end times.

Diversion

There'll be a diversion for pedestrians and cyclists by Elland Road, Recreation Avenue and Cemetery Road.
 
We're working during school summer holidays and the football off-season to minimise disruption. We apologise for any delays and inconvenience caused by the works. 

Works

We’re carrying out essential works on the Westbury footbridge, which crosses the M621 near junction 7 (Stourton) between Westbury Place and Parnaby Road.

Closures and Diversions

From 21 July we'll start to replace the anti-slip surfacing, as well as waterproofing and replacing the joint sealant at this structure. 

During these works, we'll need to close the footbridge for six weeks. 

The bridge will initially remain open for pedestrian access; however, the closure will come into effect from 24 July 2025.

The work is expected to finish on 31 August 2025. 

During this period, a section of the Parnaby Road footpath will also be closed. Should works extend beyond 31 August, access will be managed by allowing pedestrians access during school start and end times.

A diversion will be in place for pedestrians by Parnaby Road, Middleton Road, Pepper Road, Clayton Road and Westbury Place.

A section of the footpath between Westbury Place North and Clayton Road will be cleared of overgrown vegetation. We’ll also install CCTV and warning signage throughout the work along this section.

To keep disruption to a minimum, we're carrying out this work during the school summer holidays.

We apologise for any delays or inconvenience caused by these works.
