Doncaster Council, has been successful in the latest round, of the Safer Roads Fund bid, which Doncaster will benefit from Government funding worth nearly £3m which is set to improve road safety on the A19 in Doncaster North.

As part of a larger funding stream split between Doncaster and North Yorkshire, £2.96million has been specifically awarded to the City of Doncaster council to improve safety measures along the A19, up to the boundary with North Yorkshire.

Improvements to the road will help reduce potential future collisions, congestion times and emissions, through projects that could include amended new junction layouts, improved signage and improved pedestrian crossings.

The A19 road – which links Doncaster up-to North Yorkshire and the City of York – will see improvements  over the next 3 years, with the full funding shared between Doncaster and North Yorkshire, we will work alongside our partners in North Yorkshire to make sure the improvements are planned out and built to make a modern, high standard and safe transport link, connecting both the City of Doncaster to North Yorkshire.

The funding is part of a £38m roll-out plan from the Department for Transport to improve road safety across the country.

We are currently working on the project, but further updates will be provided in the summer of 2024.
