Update: Bog Green Lane

Huddersfield Giants supporters are advised that Network Rail have made us aware of an upcoming five-day road closure on Bog Green Lane (Colne Bridge). This work is part of Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU), a major programme of railway improvements between Manchester, Huddersfield, Leeds and York – bringing passengers more frequent, faster, greener trains, running on a better, cleaner and more reliable railway. 

Network Rail need to close the road from 07:00 on Wednesday 27^th July to 18:00 on Sunday 31^st July 2022. This will allow site investigation survey work to be carried out. The survey work is needed to identify existing utilities that may be within both the footpath and the road. 

These surveys will then allow teams to confirm the requirements for utility diversions or protection when we are carrying out future bridge work.  Below shows the area where the work will be taking place:  

Network Rail have worked with local highways agency and there will be a clear diversion in place throughout these dates.
