Hard Ings Road Improvement Works

The Council is looking for a Contractor to undertake civil engineering works on sections of both A650 Hard Ings Road and the A629, Keighley. The scheme includes: • The widening of Hard Ings Road on the northern side only to provide 2 lanes of traffic in both directions; • Modifications to the existing Beechcliffe Roundabout and the installation of traffic signals, to improve the efficiency and capacity of the junction; • An additional lane for traffic on the approach to Beechcliffe Roundabout on the A629; • Installation of a signalised junction with pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities (Toucan crossing) at the junction of Hard Ings Road with Lawkholme Lane. The signals will be linked and co-ordinated with the proposed signals at Beechcliffe Roundabout and the existing signalised junction at Bradford Road to control traffic flow; • A shared, two-way cycle and pedestrian footway along the southern side of Hard Ings Road between Bradford Road Roundabout and Keighley Retail Park, and between the proposed 'Toucan' crossing (at the junction with Lawkholme Lane) and Royd Way. • New and replacement planting and landscaping, including "green infrastructure", will be included in the Scheme to mitigate the visual impact of the road and provide replacement habitats for flora and fauna. These works will be carried out by the Employer's landscaping contractor. • Replacement street lighting.
