Colas is nearly finished the Thornbury Barracks roundabout
In the UK, 184 Colas is near completion of the Thornbury Barracks roundabout aimed to reduce traffic congestion on the A647 highway, the principal link between Leeds and Bradford in the county of West Yorkshire.
Traffic signals have been placed on the junction, with central running lanes constructed through the previous roundabout.
Michael Holmes, Colas business manager for the Leeds area, explained there was a need to infill a local pedestrian subway underpass using foam concrete, and option not previously used in Leeds. But there has been minimal disruption to local residents during the scheme as construction has been limited to weekends, nights and off-peak hours.
To date, there have been no road closures, however as the completion is nearing this may be necessary in the final weeks of the project. The project started in July last year and is due to be completed by the end of this month.
