Work is still progressing well on-site, and we have installed the full 85 metres of steel sheets – known as piles – to create the structural wall required (as shown below).

Work is now underway to reconstruct the carriageway behind the newly installed sheet piles, along with drainage works and the relocation of telephone cables.

We would like to thank you once again for your patience and reiterate that we are doing all we can to complete the repair as quickly and safely as possible.

We still anticipate the road to reopen before the end of June.

Two drop-in sessions will take place in June for you to find out about the work mentioned above, as well as the realignment project. There is no need to book, simply turn up to find out more.

Bolton Hall, BD23 6AL

Tuesday 11 June between 6pm and 8pm at St Thomas a Becket Church,
