The A629 Phase 1b project involves highway widening, a new link road between the A629 and Stainland Road encompassing a bridge and a new roundabout and a new traffic signal control at the bottom of Jubilee Road. The project will improve access to Copley, Sowerby Bridge and Halifax, making sites on the route more attractive for business investment. The improvement in transport accessibility and better journey times will attract more workers to the area. Once complete, the project will reduce vehicle journey times from Huddersfield to Halifax by up to 30%. Travel choices will be improved with more reliable and quicker bus journeys. Travel options will benefit from more reliable and quicker local bus journeys and the promotion of active travel by improving cycle and waling infrastructure.
