Drivers warned as council plans temporary road closure for utility works
Drivers in Menston are being warned of a temporary road closure as essential power works are carried out later this month.
A section of Moor Lane in Menston is set to close temporarily to allow Northern Powergrid works to be carried out.
City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has confirmed it intends to introduce a Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
The order will prohibit vehicles from travelling along Moor Lane, from its junction with West Winds to a point outside The Lodge.
The restriction will not apply to vehicles being used in connection with the works.
Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.
A signed diversion route for vehicles will be available via the unaffected section of Moor Lane, Hillings Lane, Bingley Road and Main Street, and vice versa.
The closure is due to come into effect at 8am on January 26, 2026, and is scheduled to remain in place until 6pm on February 6, 2026, although the council says it could remain in force for up to 18 months if necessary.
The notice was issued on January 15, 2026, by the Director of Legal and Governance on behalf of City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council, based at City Hall, Bradford (BD1 1HY).
