A new public transport
hub for Heckmondwike - Update
The works are progressing well with the recent good
weather and the new loop road has been formed and surfaced temporarily. We are
now progressing with the paving areas and will be installing the new bus
shelters and street lighting after the Christmas Holidays.
We also plan to open up the new loop road to traffic
on the 5 January 2015. From this date it will operate as a ‘one way’ system up
Royle Fold and down George Street. There will be no access into George Street
from Northgate. To aid drivers in the first few weeks we will be erecting additional
diversion route signing to reinforce this.
Once the new one way system is in place it will allow
us to install the new traffic signals at the junction of George Street and
Northgate.
We are currently still on programme to finish our
works in late February 2015. However to enable us to complete all the
carriageway surfacing and road markings work safely it will be necessary to
close Royle Fold and George Street to all traffic on 7th and 8th
February 2015 (Saturday and Sunday).
