Current roadworks, planned roadworks and road closures

Major works will commence on Monday 31^st March and will last in the region of 21 months. Gateway One is a large-scale urban regeneration project focusing on the area around the Train Station and West Street and adjacent to Trafford Way, that will transform the part of the city with a new office development, that will act as a new digital technology business hub, as well as green spaces, and improved infrastructure.

To achieve these works the demolition of existing buildings will initially take place, and in the coming weeks the dedicated nearside lane of Trafford Way, that leads to West Street and the rail station forecourt, will be closed to allow for hoardings to be erected to encompass this area for site safety. These works are planned to take place overnight from 7pm and 6am between 25^th April and 2^nd May with Trafford Way reduced to a single lane during these hours.

Following these works, the lane for West Street and Doncaster Station will be closed up to the West Street access on Trafford Way Westbound (from the Cleveland Street roundabout). This will leave two lanes on Trafford Way for the full duration of the works, which is expected to be completed in December 2026. This may impact on vehicle flows especially during peak periods (although access to West Street and the Rail Station will still be available).

Overnight restrictions will also be in place on West Street from 15^th to 25^th April 2025, with access to residential areas on St Sep West accessed via the station loop road.

Additional overnight closures/diversions may be needed during the project and will be communicated closer to the time.

National Highways are undertaking major works on the A1 north of Doncaster to include Junction 39 at Wentworth Viaduct. Further information can be found on the National Highways website. 

Works started in January 2024 to upgrade and signalise the junction with Bawtry Road, Blyth Road and Stripe Road at Tickhill Spital. The works will be carried out under multiway signals which are to be manually controlled between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00 to help regulate traffic. This scheme is currently facing some unexpected engineering difficulties and is expected to be complete by the end of April 2025.

Update: You may be aware that unfortunately the proposed completion date for completion of the improvements to the Tickhill Spital junction has now been reassessed as April 2025.

To complete the works the contractor requires a number of full weekend closures of all the roads, this is for the carriageway resurfacing, and associated works.

Upcoming road closures:

Continuous closures in place from Saturday 0600 to Sunday 1900 on the following weekend: 5th/6th April
