Traffic cones and temporary road signs on the A629 at Portland Place.

Published:

This month you might have noticed some black and yellow signs at the roadside around Halifax town centre and some construction work starting at Bull Green. That’s because work on the A629 phase 2 Halifax town centre project is underway. 

Galliford Try (the Contractor delivering the work) has finished setting up their compound at the Union Street car park and begun work on the west area of town. Upgrades for central and eastern areas of Halifax town centre are planned too, for 2025 and 2027 respectively.

Lane closures are in place on the A629 at the junction with Prescott Street. Access for vehicles to Prescott Street from the A629 is closed and an alternative temporary crossing is in place for people wishing to cross.

At Bull Green we’ve closed the car park and made lanes narrower to allow for work to begin safely. We’ve also installed temporary 3-way signals at the junction of the A629 and Orange Street and closed a footway on Broad Street for the same reason.

The team from Galliford Try have been working with underground utility companies in the area. This will help to make sure the works run as smoothly as possible during construction. Engineers have been surveying basements to properties within the working area to compile pre-construction condition reports.
