The proposed changes
There are three areas we are currently consulting on proposed restrictions:
- A629 Wortley Road

- Droppingwell Road and Farm View Road area
A629 Wortley Road
The proposals apply to heavy goods vehicles travelling northbound along the A629 Wortley Road between the A6109 Wilton Gardens and Bradgate Lane. HGV traffic bound for Junction 35 will follow the A6109 to Junction 34. This is the existing advised route for goods vehicles.
Goods vehicles travelling along the A629 towards Rotherham are not restricted.
Access to the petrol filling station will be permitted from Rhymers Roundabout. The restriction will apply from the filling station. This includes Access to other premises between the filling station and Bradgate Lane. Access to these premises will be from the northwest.
In the event of an unplanned closure to the M1, the restriction will be suspended. This suspension will be indicated to drivers by variable message signs on the M1. This applies only to the Wortley Rd Restriction.
