Tinsley Viaduct poser for M1 widening

DETAILS have yet to be revealed of how an upgraded M1 with a “dynamic” hard shoulder will negotiate the Tinsley Viaduct.

Transport Secretary Philip Hammond announced more than £600 million for public transport and road projects.

Among them is a plan to use the hard shoulder as a fourth lane between Thurcroft and Chapeltown on the M1.

A spokesman for the Highways Agency said: “There were discussions prior to the spending review, but we don’t have any details at this stage.”

The A57 to Todwick and Waverley Link Road are also set for funding boosts.
