Manor Park roadworks to be completed by Easter

Thursday, 3 April 2025 15:39

David Wilson Homes plans at Burley in Wharfedale

David Wilson Homes [DWH], the developers at Manor Park in Burley-in-Wharfedale, has issued an update and says work is scheduled to be completed before the Easter bank holiday.

A spokesperson said:

"Final surfacing is now underway on the roundabout in preparation for fully opening to traffic on 17th April 2025. DWH has placed forward warning notices advising of potential extended delays whilst the surfacing work is taking place. This is due to movements of the Traffic Management to keep the surfacing works fluid.

"On 9th and 10th April access to and from Esscroft Private Nursery will be limited, however the operatives on site will marshal vehicles in and out where required. To help the situation DWH will not commence works in the area until after 9am, however there will be no access, except for emergencies until after 1pm on these days."

"Bradford Council have failed to attend to erect the street lighting columns which has impacted the final surfacing to the footways. DWH have employed an alternative contractor who is installing the columns w/c 14th April. White lining will also take place during w/c 14th April.

"Footway surfacing will be completed as soon as Bradford Council has completed the street lighting connections."

The carriageway will be complete for a full opening on the evening of Thursday 17th April.
