The below information was presented during the public engagement period between 18 February - 29 March 2018

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC), in partnership with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, is looking to make improvements to three junctions, in order to reduce congestion for the benefit of all road users. Collectively the schemes focus on bringing improvements to the A6177 Outer Ring Road to the west of Bradford.

CURRENT ISSUES

Congestion and journey time reliability problems
Need to provide additional housing and job opportunities
Requirement to improve air quality
Low uptake of walking and cycling
Level of the accidents
Poor condition of some buildings

THE AREA

THE OPPORTUNITY

The junctions improvement scheme is expected to have the following impacts:

Reduction in journey times and congestion and improvement to reliability through the network
Contribution to housing and employment growth
Improved air quality
More people walking and cycling
Reduction in number and severity of accidents
Demolition of buildings in poor condition

FUNDING

The project will be wholly funded by the Combined Authority including all development and preparation costs, land purchase and implementation/construction of new infrastructure.

The expected costs of delivering the scheme are £14 million; this funding comes from the Corridor Improvement Programme, a component of the West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund.

TIMESCALES

Subject to approval, the schemes could start as early as 2020. Due to the size and complexity of the proposed works the improvements may be introduced in phases and it is expected that all schemes will be delivered by 2022.

THE PROPOSALS

The scheme focuses on making traffic improvements to three junctions in order to improve highway efficiency for the benefit of all road users. The junctions form part of the A6177 Outer Ring Road, part of the West Yorkshire Key Route Network (KRN).

Great Horton Road / Horton Grange Road:

The scheme looks to build a new road between Horton Park Avenue/Cecil Avenue junction and All Saints Road/Dirkhill Road junction, with priority junctions at both ends. The new link is to allow movements to bypass the Great Horton Road/Horton Grange Road/All Saints Road junction.

As part of the scheme, the Great Horton Road/Horton Park Avenue junction is signalised, with two lanes inbound to the junction of Great Horton Road/Horton Grange Road/All Saints Road.

It is proposed that All Saints Road is changed to a one way southbound between Great Horton Road and Turner Place. This will reduce traffic conflicts, whilst increasing capacity. The right turn from Great Horton Road into All Saints Road is prevented with right turning traffic using Horton Park Avenue. Improvements are to be made for cycling and walking as part of the design.

Toller Lane /Whetley Hill:

Improvements to the Toller Lane junction directly benefit the A6177 Outer Ring Road and Thornton Road/Cemetery Road junction brings associated impacts through further works on this corridor, where the Thornton Road/A6177 Ingleby Road junction has been improved in recent years.

In particular at A6177 Whetley Lane/Toller Lane:

Two lane approaches to junction on A6177
Dedicated left turns from A6177
Two lanes in both directions on Toller Lane from the Carlisle Road junction to existing dual carriageway
Widen out approaches on Toller Lane and Whetley Hill to provide a short right turn

Thornton Road/Cemetery Road:

Formalise right turn lane inbound on Thornton Road into Cemetery Road
Widen westbound direction on Thornton Road to have two lanes from the A6177
Two lane approach on Allerton Road
Two lanes north on Cemetery Road approach and two lanes on Allerton Road exit

OBJECTIVES

To improve journey time reliability on the western section of the A6177 Outer Ring Road – reducing variability between peak and inter-peak time periods for journeys to/from Bradford. To be achieved one year post opening.
To reduce congestion along the A6177 Outer Ring Road in order to improve productivity and attract new investment – by reducing business operating costs, improving accessibility and creating greater confidence in highway provision. Congestion reduction to be achieved one year post opening.
To support housing growth aspirations by reducing transport constraints to development – support the delivery of 8,000 new residences by 2030.
To enhance provision for active travel modes in order to increase sustainability – improving conditions for pedestrians and cyclists to encourage more active modes, reduce severance and promote economic and physical activity. Increase in active modes to be observed one year post opening.
To improve air quality – by reducing congestion and the number of vehicles idling at the junction. To be achieved five years post opening.
Public realm – significantly improve the attractiveness of this part of the district by improving the urban environment through the demolition of blighted buildings and the creation of an enhanced public realm. To be achieved through project delivery.
To reduce road traffic collisions – to make travel safer, particularly for pedestrians and cyclists. Achieve a 5% reduction in accidents five years post opening.

Phil asked almost 6 years ago

As part of the design we need to balance the needs of all road users. One of the key objectives of the West Bradford Junctions Improvement Scheme is to improve journey times and reliability for public transport. With laybys, it is often difficult for buses to rejoin the carriageway; thus incurring delay. Conversely, where other traffic is unable to pass a stationary bus, delay is also incurred.

Tim B asked almost 6 years ago

We propose schemes to balance the needs of all roads users, working within spatial and budgetary constraints. Our proposals aim to improve the localities to encourage uptake of walking and cycling. This is achieved through a new link between Dirkhill Road and Cecil Avenue, provision of pedestrian facilities at Toller Lane/Whetley Hill, and wider public realm/landscaping improvements.

As part of the design development we are engaging with bus operators. Bus users will benefit from journey time savings due to the junction improvements. There are no proposals for bus laybys on Thornton Road as part of the current design.

C.Darvill asked almost 6 years ago

The Council recognises that highway schemes can sometimes require the demolition of property and that this can effect the local environment and businesses. You will be able to see from the consultation maps which building will be unaffected by the proposed scheme. Restrictions on car parking will be considered as part of the development of the scheme and any proposals for restrictions that require a legal traffic regulation order will be formally advertised. Anybody will then be able to make representations to the Council to object or support the restrictions. Restrictions are normally only proposed where there is an interest in road safety or the flow of traffic.

The Council recognises the problems of poor air quality, climate change, congestion and lack of exercise and that providing safe cycle routes will encourage more cycling and help to address these issues. Keeping cycle routes clear and safe are an important part of the proposals and Traffic Regulation Orders, which are required to enforce parking restrictions, will be considered as part of the next phase of the design.

Rob Davey asked almost 6 years ago

The proposals include the provision of extra traffic lanes in order to increase capacity and improve the flow of traffic. The traffic lanes will be narrower than the existing lanes and will make it difficult for motor vehicles to pass cyclists. This issue needs looking into in more detail so that people who wish to cycle are not put at risk or deterred from cycling. The Council recognises the problems of poor air quality, climate change, congestion and lack of exercise. Providing safe cycle routes will encourage more cycling and help to address these issues.

One of the key funding objectives is to provide improvements for public transport. Bus users will benefit from time savings as a result of overall reductions in journey times for road users. As part of the design process, public transport operators will be engaged, particularly as the current proposal prevents the right turn from Great Horton Road into All Saints Road, where traffic will make the right turn at Great Horton Road into Horton Park Avenue instead.
