Kirklees councillors heard last year in a report from council officers that the A649 Halifax Road, Cleckheaton, at its junctions with the A643 Walton Lane and B6120 Scholes Lane, had seen a relatively high number of vehicle crashes resulting in injury.
Temporary traffic lights have been in place, at certain stages, while work has been carried out. As our pictures show, the new traffic lights have been put up, with the council confirming that surfacing and lining works are due to start this week (week commencing March 11).
A council spokesperson added: “Once this is completed, our operations teams will then return to finish the footway, kerbing and signing.
“The anticipated completion date is just before the end of March 2024.”
Here are some photos of the junction before and during the work.
