To ensure the safety of road users and the workforce, it will be necessary to close the road to traffic from 10.30pm to 5.30am, Monday to Friday nights for the duration of the works.

Access for emergency vehicles and pedestrians will be maintained at all times. Through traffic will be diverted via Cragg Vale, Ripponden and Sowerby Bridge.

Calderdale Council’s Assistant Director of Strategic Infrastructure, Steven Lee, said: “These important works will improve the road surface of this busy route and ensure it’s fit for purpose for many years to come.

“To minimise disruption at busy periods and to ensure the work can be carried out safely, the road will be closed to traffic overnight Monday to Friday throughout the works.”
