We know that Calderdale’s beautiful countryside lends itself to cycling for sport or leisure, but we want to improve facilities to encourage people to cycle more as a mode of transport.

Work to widen the A629 at Salterhebble Hill is expected to be completed by the beginning of 2019, despite a number of major challenges.

The ambitious scheme, which includes widening Salterhebble Hill to four lanes; installing new traffic light technology and improving facilities for pedestrians and cyclists, is one of the biggest and most complex schemes ever undertaken by Calderdale Council.

Thanks to everyone who came along to see the exhibition of our plans at the Halifax Central Library over the last few weeks. It's been a great opportunity for the residents and businesses of Halifax to see what we have planned for the future of our town. 

Last month, Calderdale Councillors visited the work site at Salterhebble to take a look at the major transport investment project.

Councillor Tim Swift, Leader of the Council, and Councillor Barry Collins, Deputy Leader of the Council and Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Economic Development, visited the site at the A629 to see the progress made and to hear about what’s next.
