Summer road closures during major town centre works

Works on the A630 Centenary Way at Crinoline Bridge will run from around 7pm each Saturday to around 5am each Monday, over the school holidays.

Roads will be closed between College Road roundabout and the junction with Drummond Street.

Six further closures will take place during the summer — this weekend’s disruption will be slightly shorter, running from 7am until 7pm on Sunday only.

Cllr Denise Lelliott, Rotherham Borough Council’s cabinet member for jobs and the local economy, said: “These vital works, alongside the nearby improvements to Rotherham Interchange, are an important part of ensuring town centre transport links are the best they can be as we move forward with the town centre masterplan and look to grow the economy.”

Paul Woodcock, assistant director for planning, regeneration and transport, added: “These are major engineering works to ensure the safety and improve the road surface of one of the key routes through Rotherham town centre.

“We apologise for any inconvenience to motorists during these works, which have been scheduled on weekends, mainly during the school holidays, to ensure minimal disruption.”
