🚧 Major repairs to A6033 Hebden Bridge Road 🚧

Please remember, from tomorrow (2 June) the A6033 between Oxenhope and Hebden Bridge will be closed for around seven weeks to allow contractors to repair two damaged culverts which run under the road.

💧 The broken Victorian culverts aren't draining rainwater properly, risking further road damage if not fixed.
🚫 Due to the depth and scale of the work, a full road closure is required — the engineers have developed a plan to halve the full road closure time, so it can reopen under temporary traffic lights before the start of the school summer holidays.
🌿 Summer work avoids disturbing ground-nesting birds and is it’s safer and quicker to work due to drier conditions.

📍 The closure begins at Keepers Lodge.
🚍 The B3 bus will terminate in Oxenhope during the closure.
🔁 A diversion route will be in place.

Thank you for your patience as we work to carry out these vital repairs as quickly as possible.

We want to hear what you think. The final online consultation is on Tuesday 13 August, 6pm – 7pm. you can sign up following the link below.

It poses a number of health & safety issues, not to mention it is a prosecutable offence.
