A630 Parkway Upgrade

Post by jackal »

A £46m scheme to add a lane in both directions between the M1 and the Catcliffe GSJ, and widen J33, is underway. I'd have liked to have seen some left turn filters but otherwise it looks good. The current D2 carries over 60k AADT.

Last few times I was that way - which were a good few months ago now - there were major works in the central reserve of the parkway between J33 and the catcliffe GSJ. Is that part of the same project, just started already?

Yes, it started in February and they are widening into the central reservation.

It doesn't seem long since last time they added lanes to the junction. Either that was a half-assed cheapo job or I'm getting old. :wow: At least it's more than just concrete barriers in return for the long delays inevitably caused by reducing three lanes entering the roundabout to two.

Ah yes I see now, it started in Feb. Thought it had been just announced now when it was posted here. My mistake.
