Temporary road closure planned to allow construction works
Drivers are being warned of a temporary road closure to allow construction works to be carried out in February.
City of Bradford Metropolitan District Council has announced plans to temporarily close part of a road in Shipley to allow construction works to take place.
The council intends to make a Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 due to works being carried out by Chevron TM.
The order will prohibit vehicles from travelling along Wallbank Drive, from its junction with Shipley Fields Road for approximately 110 metres in a northerly direction.
The restriction will not apply to vehicles being used in connection with the works.
Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times, and a signed diversion route for vehicles will be in place via the unaffected section of Wallbank Drive, Valley Road and Shipley Fields Road, and vice versa.
The closure is due to come into effect at 8am on February 9, 2026, and is scheduled to remain in place until 5pm on March 20, 2026, although the council says the order could remain in force for up to 18 months if required.
The notice was issued on January 29, 2026, by the council’s Director of Legal and Governance, based at City Hall in Bradford.
