A646 Halifax Road, Hebden Bridge partial reopening under two-way lights
Yorkshire Water and Calderdale Council are pleased to announce that one lane of the A646 Halifax Road, Charlestown, Hebden Bridge reopened under two-way lights.
The road was closed on the evening of Friday 13 December following a collapsed sewer and damaged culvert. Reopening the road has been hampered by the complexities of the repair and extreme weather conditions. The sewer has now been fully repaired and the culvert reinstated. A lining will be added at a later date and the road reopened fully.
A Yorkshire Water spokesperson said:
“We would like to thank everyone for their patience as we carried out both repairs and appreciate that this has been frustrating for all involved.
“We’d also like to thank the team that pulled out all of the stops to get this vital repair fixed as quickly as possible, working long hours in extremely cold and wet weather conditions.”
The normal 591 and 592 bus services will resume from 6am on Thursday 23 January with the scheduled shuttle bus service operating until 5pm Saturday 25 January.
Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Regeneration and Transport, Cllr Sarah Courtney, said:
“It’s great news that the complex work on the A646 has progressed to the point where one lane can be reopened under two-way lights, which will be manned during peak hours. We absolutely understand that this closure has been frustrating and disruptive and thank people for their patience whilst work has been underway.
“To minimise any further disruption, it’s important that there is a clear route through for traffic, also allowing heavy plant access to the site. As such, we’re asking people not to park on the roadside near the work site and we will be installing ‘no parking’ signs to this effect. This should also clear access for businesses operating in the area.”
