Elland bypass road safety barriers to get £4m upgrade with Government funding

The Yorkshire and Humber region is set to be given £11.5m with the aim of improving connectivity.

This includes almost £4m which will boost road safety by replacing barriers along the A629 Calderdale Way in Yorkshire and £2m for key maintenance works on the A62 Leeds Road.

Roads Minister Baroness Vere has announced today that thirty-two local authorities will receive investment for essential repair works, levelling up infrastructure, cutting congestion, improving road conditions and making journeys easier.

“There is nothing more frustrating than a journey delayed by poor road conditions, and this multi-million pound boost will help improve connectivity across the country," said Baroness Vere.

“This investment will not only help local areas to target current pinch points on their roads, but will also harness our world-leading research and innovation capabilities to future proof the next generation of journeys.”
