Thornton Road / Cemetery Road Junction (Phase 2C) West Bradford Junction Improvements Scheme

Please note this engagement has now closed. This public engagement was open 23rd February - 22nd March 2023. 

Thank you to everyone who took part. The Engagement Report is available to read here. 

The information below was presented during the engagement period.

City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council (CBMDC), in partnership with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, is looking to make improvements to three junctions to the A6177 Outer Ring Road to the West of Bradford to reduce congestion, and benefit bus users, cyclists and pedestrians. We would like your feedback on the proposed improvements for the Thornton Road/Cemetery Road junction.

Further information including details of the previous engagements on the three junctions can be found here (opens in a new page).

Public engagement on this scheme was deferred due to additional design work as well as further transport modelling necessary to accommodate the cycle lane across the junction, funded via the Transforming Cities Fund.

Further details of the West Bradford Cycle Superhighway Extension scheme can be found here.
