As part of our major A629 improvement plans, we're revealing preliminary designs to improve the highway positioning at the Jubilee Road junction.

Improvement plans include:

• Move the Jubilee Road line a little to the east and reduce impact on the western side
• Full width footway and cycle path
• Punch Bowl Pub to be acquired and demolished for an attractice entrance to Halifax
• New link road between the A629 and Stainland Road via a new bridge spanning the Calder and Hebble Navigation
• New roundabout on Stainland Road, widening Elland Wood Bottom and Stainland Road
• Dual carriageway from Calder and Hebble junction through to new traffic lights at the Jubilee Road junction
• New northbound bus lane on Stainland Road

The A629 provides an essential link between Halifax and the M62 motorway and this busy route is used by over 40,000 vehicles a day. The planned improvements at the Calder and Hebble junction will manage these heavy traffic flows far better and accommodate for future growth; the scheme also delivers positive benefits for walking, cycling and public transport. The reduction in congestion helps minimise harmful emissions from standing traffic, and their impact on local air quality.
