These are all the roads scheme plans:

-

This will include junction widening and improvemen­ts to the Blacker Road/Edgerton Grove Road/New North Road/Edgerton Road junction; the Cavalry Arms junction, Birchencli­ffe Hill and Yew Tree Road to Ainley Top roundabout. The council will need to negotiate for some of the land required for the improvemen­ts which is part of a wider scheme with Calderdale Council. Owners of properties and land affected by the works will be contacted in the near future.

This major transport scheme will seek to ease traffic congestion at the existing A62/A644 Cooper Bridge junction. The area is often congested but in particular in the morning and evening rush hours and two proposed site allocation­s in the Local Plan will increase traffic further. Part of this scheme will be to build a new relief road from Bradley to Wakefield Road. and it is one of the main gateways to Huddersfie­ld. The A62 highway scheme will align improvemen­ts in transport, green infrastruc­ture, flood alleviatio­n, district heating,

It will improve travel between our towns and neighbouri­ng towns and improve access to employment and training opportunit­ies.

A scheme is being developed to reduce the amount of traffic currently using Victoria Street. Improvemen­ts to the existing highway and a new road link are planned to divert through traffic away from Victoria Street. The scheme will improve pedestrian safety and reduce traffic on around Victoria Street, A6204 and Towngate.

Good local and regional transport links underpin the developmen­t of business and the creation of new jobs.

affecting traffic flow. Highway improvemen­ts are also planned for the Longroyd Bridge and Lockwood Bar areas of Huddersfie­ld which are currently challengin­g for all forms of transport. Plans to demolish numbers 1-7 Longroyd Lane are being considered to allow the widening of the junction with Manchester Road.

This scheme looks at the A644 and A653 transport corridors that start in Mirfield and end in Leeds. While a number of pieces of work have been completed, this study will look at what future schemes will be needed. This will also tie in with improvemen­ts to Dewsbury Rail Station which was approved by Cabinet earlier this year.

This is a potential new road that will improve access to and from the area that could reduce congestion along the route, in particular in Ravensthor­pe and Mirfield. Work is now under way to look at potential routes to determine if this is a viable scheme to develop.
