Queensgate, Huddersfield road closed

Drivers are advised to plan alternative routes as Queensgate in Huddersfield will be closed due to scheduled maintenance from August 16, 2026, at midnight until August 17, 2026, at midnight. The closure is being carried out by Kirklees Council, the local highway authority responsible for the upkeep of the road network in the area.

Queensgate is a key route in the region, and the closure is expected to cause medium disruption to drivers, particularly those traveling between Bradford, the nearest city, and Huddersfield. The scheduled maintenance is classified as minor, but drivers are still advised to take necessary precautions to avoid any potential delays.

Motorists are urged to check traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on the closure, as well as any alternative routes that may be available. The most efficient route during this time is likely to be the A640, which connects Huddersfield to the surrounding areas and major roads.

Kirklees Council has scheduled the maintenance work to minimize disruption during off-peak hours. However, drivers are still advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to plan ahead to avoid any unexpected delays.

Those traveling from Bradford to Huddersfield and vice versa should be aware of the road closure and use the A640 as an alternative route. The A640 is a major road that connects Huddersfield to the surrounding areas and major roads, such as the M62.
