A61 Old Mill Lane widening scheme

Overview

The A61 Old Mill Lane widening scheme is being conducted by Balfour Beatty as the Principal Contractor on behalf of South Yorkshire Combined Mayoral Authority (SYMCA).

The scheme aims to reduce journey times, ease congestion on the A61 and improve the reliability of bus journeys, including through a new five-lane layout and dedicated southbound bus lane on Old Mill Lane’s bridge. As part of future planning and sustainable transport planning, the existing footways are also being upgraded to accommodate combined pedestrian and cycle usage.

The existing road and bridge, spanning the River Dearne, are a known pinch point into Barnsley, both for traffic and as a utility corridor due to the high concentration of services located in this area.

Catering and payment
Following the meeting a hot and cold selection buffet lunch will be offered. The cost is £14 for the main course buffet and £6 for dessert (optional). Payment at time of booking is preferred and can be arranged via the honorary secretary. Bookings must be made no later than 16th September. Bookings are made in the first instance via the regional support team (via 'book now' button or email [email protected]) and followed up with further details by the honorary secretary Frank O'Dwyer.
