Glasshoughton Southern Link Road

The Glasshoughton Southern Link Road provides a more direct route to the leisure / retail area from Wakefield and Normanton, reduces congestion and improves accessibility. It will result in a significant reduction in traffic on the A639/A6539 corridor immediately North of the Glasshoughton development area.

The additional highway capacity improves conditions for bus services (the Council has secured funding for a new bus service on this route), pedestrians and cyclists.

This scheme also enables the delivery of 1,300 new homes and creates the ability for employment opportunities due to improved connectivity.
