Latest updates - April 2024

Work is due to start on the Connecting Sheffield: Magna – Tinsley project. Our contractor, Amey, will start from Thursday 18 April 2024 to build a new crossing for pedestrians and cyclists on Sheffield Road by the junction with Raby Street.

During construction, we’ll need to install temporary traffic lights to operate on Sheffield Road on either side of the junction with Raby Street. There will also be no access to and from Raby Street from Sheffield Road during the works to allow space for the work to safely happen. We will have the following diversions from Raby Street in place:

  • To and from M1 Junction 34 South: via Bawtry Road and Norborough Road
  • To and from Rotherham (Sheffield Road): via St Lawrence Road

You can see the diversion routes on the map below.

We expect the works to take around three months, and we’ll work to get access restored as soon as we can.
