Welcome to newsletter number 29 providing you with information regarding the Hard Ings Road Improvement scheme in Keighley.
Our works have continued to the northern flank of the Hard Ings Road as we strive to meet the next planned asphalt surfacing visit at the start of July. We have completed kerbing, paving, street lighting, traffic signs and drainage connections along this section.
We are currently undertaking earthworks to the widened area of the road and laying the subbase layers to the carriageway widening and footway. These works will facilitate the northern carriageway widening and footway asphalt surfacing. Rest assured we are working with both Northern Powergrid and BT Openreach to ensure their diversion works are completed ahead of the next scheduled surfacing visit.
We have commenced some works on the traffic island adjacent Cliffe Castle Roundabout which will include some traffic signal duct and chamber works.
Preparing for the surfacing visit at the start of July will remain our focus and priority over the next fortnight.
The following diversions remain in place by the bus companies previously using the now closed Lawkholme Lane junction. Hard Ings Road/Lawkholme Lane, Keighley - P23 Steeton Primary Route P23 for Steeton Village Primary School will have an amended route. There will be no pick up on Lawkholme Lane. AM: the bus will start at the bus stop on Skipton Road at East Avenue (08:22) then along Skipton Road to Devonshire Street and the usual route thereafter. Therefore the bus will not operate along Lawkholme Lane. PM: as per the usual route from the school as far as the roundabout at Skipton Road/Hard Ings then continue along Skipton Road (16:10 at East Avenue) toward Devonshire Street and the usual route thereafter. Those passengers who usually board or alight at the stops at the top of Lawkholme Lane near Hard Ings are advised to use the bus stop on Skipton Road at East Avenue. This amendment will continue for the duration of the works at Hard Ings or until such time the turn restriction is lifted.
