Green Bank Wakefield Road Closed

Green Bank in Wakefield is set to be affected by a series of roadworks, with significant disruption expected for motorists. The work will take place on Green Bank, with the area being reduced to a single lane in each direction. Commuters and residents alike are advised to plan their journeys accordingly, with the work scheduled to begin on August 14th and run through to August 19th.

The roadworks are being carried out by Leeds City Council, the highway authority responsible for maintaining the region's road network. The work is deemed an urgent priority, with traffic management in place to ensure the safety of both road users and workers. The exact cause of the roadworks has not been disclosed, however, the council has stated that the work is necessary to address a pressing issue.

Drivers are advised to exercise caution when navigating the area, with a reduced speed limit in place. Motorists are encouraged to use alternative routes where possible, with traffic apps such as Google Maps and Waze providing up-to-date information on closures and congestion. It is also recommended that drivers check with their employer or school for any specific guidance on travel arrangements.

The timing of the roadworks could not be more inconvenient, with the work set to begin just as the morning rush-hour is getting underway. Commuters are likely to face significant delays, with the single-lane restriction in place from 08:15 on August 14th until 23:00 on August 19th. The council has warned that the work may be subject to change, with updates provided on their website and social media channels.

While the work is underway, drivers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to consider public transport or alternative modes of transport. Motorists are also reminded to follow the instructions of traffic marshals and to drive safely through the affected area.
