Road Closure: SILSDEN ROAD — Bradford

A significant disruption is expected to affect commuters in the Bradford area, as Silsden Road in Keighley will be closed from 08:00 on 4 January 2027 to 18:00 on 14 February 2027. The closure, which is being carried out by the City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, is due to major works, categorised as PAA, and is expected to have a medium severity impact on traffic in the area. Drivers are advised to plan their journeys in advance and consider using alternative routes to avoid delays.

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has confirmed that the closure is necessary to carry out essential works, and drivers are being warned to expect significant disruptions during the six-week period. The council is working to minimise the impact on traffic, but drivers are still advised to allow extra time for their journeys and to check for updates on traffic apps before setting out. Alternative routes will be signposted, but drivers are encouraged to plan their journeys in advance to avoid getting caught up in congestion.

The closure of Silsden Road is likely to have a significant impact on traffic in the area, particularly during peak hours. Drivers who normally use this route are advised to consider using alternative routes, such as the A650 or the A629, to avoid delays. Additionally, drivers can check traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, for up-to-the-minute information on traffic conditions and to plan their journeys accordingly. By taking a few simple precautions, drivers can help to minimise the disruption caused by the closure and reduce the risk of getting stuck in traffic.

The City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council is working to complete the works as quickly as possible, but the closure is expected to remain in place until 18:00 on 14 February 2027. In the meantime, drivers are advised to be patient and to follow the signed diversion routes.
