Current roadworks, planned roadworks and road closures

We’re improving sustainable transport facilities in Doncaster to provide new walking and cycling infrastructure and improved connections to green spaces, schools and employment sites. These improvements are part of a wider plan to develop a better connected and safer network of walking and cycling routes, offering people more choice of how they travel, and reducing reliance on vehicles.

Thorne Road Tranforming Cities Fund Scheme - Phase 2

The works include re-kerbing the north side to create a footway/cycleway, infilling the subway, installation of traffic signals, ducting and planing and carpeting the road from Wentworth Road to Town Fields. We are looking to remove the central refuges and create more working space to enable us to maintain two-way traffic flows but there will be a requirement for two-way lights at some times during the works.

We anticipate a commencement date for the works of around February 2024 and is expected to be complete by 1st September 2024 

 

Planned Road Closures:

Causeway one.network

To speed up the programme for these works and ensure completion on 1st September, we will then continue to surface the carriageway between Wentworth Road and Town Moor Avenue during the daytime between the hours of 09:30 and 20:00 in short sections from 26th August to 30th August.

Finally on Sunday 1st September (08:00 - 22:00) surfacing will be done at the Town Moor Avenue junction. All that will remain to be done is commissioning of the new signals.

 

We thank you for your patience throughout this challenging scheme.

National Highways are undertaking major works on the A1 north of Doncaster to include Junction 39 at Wentworth Viaduct. Further information can be found on the National Highways website. 

Work began in the area on Monday 15 January 2024 

Access for residents will be maintained during any closures however YW may need to ask you to wait while we move machinery to let you pass. YW will kindly request that journeys through closures are kept to a minimum during our working hours, this will help them complete the work as quickly as possible. On-street parking may be restricted during the work, but off-street parking will be maintained.

Your bin collections will not be affected, please put your bin out as normal and the team will make sure it is emptied

If your water supply is to be affected, you’ll receive a hand delivered card warning you of the dates and times in advance. YW will not need access into your homes as part of this work, please remember to always ask for identification before letting anyone in to your home.

The team have found an unmapped culvert on Horse Fair Green. A plan is been put in place to work around this, but this does mean the work is going to take a little longer than planned and we’re currently looking at completing this section by 8^th September. All the car parks will remain accessible on here for the remainder of the work.

Works started on 15/01/2024 to upgrade and signalise the junction with Bawtry Road, Blyth Road and Stripe Road at Tickhill Spital. The works will be carried out under multiway signals which are to be manually controlled between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00 to help regulate traffic. This scheme is currently facing some unexpected engineering difficulties and is expected to be complete by the middle of December 2024.

 
A630 West Moor Link
Works started some time ago to construct a new roundabout for a housing development. From 07.05.24 2 way traffic signals are in place which will be controlled by an operative between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00 in order to keep traffic flowing in either direction. Expected completion is around the end of September 2024.  Phase 2 is now in progress and the traffic lights have been moved slightly towards Hatfield Lane. There will be a requirement to close sections of the A630 for final resurfacing works as this is unavoidable, but we are seeking that this takes place over a series of night-time periods when traffic flows are at their lowest.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Construction of the new roundabout - road closures are currently programmed for 2000-0600hrs on the following dates;
