Drivers facing months of delays due to roadworks

between 97 Woodhead Road and The Lockwood pub.

During this time there will be two-way and three-way lights until Monday, April 23.

The second section, starting on Monday, May 7, and lasting about three weeks, will take place at the junction of Woodhead Road and Lockwood Scar.

During this time there will be no left turn from Lockwood Scar onto Woodhead Road. A signed diversion will be in place.

Section three will take place on Lockwood Scar, between Woodhead Road and Meltham Road, from Monday, May 21, for about nine weeks. During this time four-way lights will be in place as well as a contraflow system.

Phase two will take place on Albert Street between Fair Street and Bath Street from Monday, March 12 for about four weeks.

Once this section is complete, work will continue on Albert Street toward Bridge Street for a further 18 weeks. During this time parking restrictions will be in place.

As part of phase three, work will continue southbound on Woodhead Road, between 97 Woodhead Road and the junction of Station Lane from Monday, June 18, until Friday, September 28. During this time two-way lights will be in place.

NGN said that during each phase, diversion routes will be clearly signposted, but said road users should prepare for some delays to their journeys.
