Seven weeks of roadworks on Doncaster Road

Motorists face up to seven weeks of delays as work on a new £33m bypass on the east side of Wakefield continues.

Northern Gas Networks started works to divert a gas main on Doncaster Road and Oakenshaw Lane on Monday, July 27.

As part of the scheme, the bus lane on Doncaster Road will be closed throughout the project.
