Motorists are being advised they may experience on-going disruption at Green Arbour Road this month (September) as roadworks continue in Thurcroft.

Major roadworks are taking place to improve the B6060 Green Arbour Road, between the junction of Locksley Drive and Limetree Avenue.

The works were originally due to be completed at the end of August but are now expected to be completed by Sunday 17 September.

School Road will be open during this last part of the works. Weekend working is being employed to keep the extension into the school term to a minimum and there will be close monitoring of traffic conditions with temporary traffic lights.

Rotherham Council’s Assistant Director for Community Safety and Street Scene, Karen Hanson, said: “We are of course disappointed that we have had to extend the works longer than originally planned, as progress has been a little slower than expected.

“However, this is a major route with a road that was in a poor state of repair and we are now moving quickly towards completion of this part of these essential highway works.

“We ask that people bear with us as we aim to complete this latest phase as swiftly as we can.”
