Where highways work will take place as £15 million programme of roadworks is approved

Calderdale Council’s Cabinet members agreed the programme for 2025-26 and 2026-27, enabling funding agreements to be signed by the council and West Yorkshire Combined Authority to unlock the cash.

It will give the council £15 million to spend on roads and other highway infrastructure, with around £12 million of that expected to be spent on maintaining roads, repairing walls and bridges, and road safety measures.

Most money will be spent on carriageway resurfacing, surface dressing and patching and road reconstruction with more than 500 roads across the borough are included in the proposed programme of work over the next two years.

Recommending to colleagues they approve the programme, Coun Sarah Courtney (Lab, Calder), Cabinet member for Regeneration and Transport, said an effective and well-maintained highway network was crucial to link up Calderdale’s communities.

The Government had put an extra £1.6 billion into the highways pot nationally of which £1.8 million was coming Calderdale’s way, she said.

Coun Courtney said the borough was badly hit by Storm Bert last November, following which £6 million worth of damage needed repairing.

In terms of structures and drainage, three schemes totalling £1.5 million to urgently retain Hebble Viaduct, King Cross Viaduct and Shears Viaduct, all in Halifax, are planned.

Other big costs include rebuilding a retaining wall collapse on the A58 at Ryburn (£750,000), an A681 retaining wall collapse reconstruction at Todmorden (£1 million) and an A6025 retaining wall failure reconstruction at Brighouse is expected to cost £2 million.

Other repairs needed are at the A629 Keighley Road at Mixenden and Ovenden (£250,000), at Allescholes Road, Todmorden (£50,000); at the A6033 at Peckett Well, Hebden Bridge (£150,000), at Bairstow Lane, Sowerby Bridge (£1.1 million) and a Long Wall retaining wall failure reconstruction at Elland (£500,000).

Wall inspections across the borough are expected to cost around while “next-in-line” high priority schemes across Calderdale would cost £3.7 million, the report to councillors said.
