• Works at Wilfrid Road and Worksop Road - November 2026

  As part of the Connecting Sheffield: Darnall – Attercliffe – City Centre project, we are improving streets to make them safer, greener and more welcoming for everyone.

  The changes aim to support regeneration in the area, safer journeys and sustainable travel for local people, and will give you more choice in how you travel, whether you’re walking, wheeling, cycling or travelling by bus.

  Works on Worksop Road

  The next phase of works along Worksop Road is scheduled to begin on, or shortly after, Monday 9 November, for approximately 12 weeks.

  The works will include improvements to the eastbound road between Attercliffe Road and Chippingham Street, and will be carried out Monday to Friday, between 7am and 4pm, weather permitting. Works include:

  • Improvements to the road, footways and kerbs
  • Improvements to crossing points
  • New paving and kerbing across side-road junctions

  Traffic will be maintained in each direction via two narrow lanes while the work takes place.

  Temporary traffic signals will be used during some stages. Parking will not be suspended along the whole route at once, but in phases as the works progress.

  Bootle Street, Leeds Road and Chippingham Street will be temporarily closed at different stages of the works, with advance notice and diversion routes provided ahead of each closure.

  Maintaining access and minimising disruption

  Access to properties and businesses will be maintained, including access between Attercliffe Road and Oasis Academy Don Valley on the eastbound side. Some routes may be temporarily diverted to allow the work to be completed safely.

  Works on Wilfrid Road

  We’ll be coming to Wilfrid Road to carry out improvements to the junction and footway area between Wilfrid Road and Shirland Lane.

  These works will take place on, or shortly after, Wednesday 11 November from 7am until 4pm, for approximately seven weeks. The works involve improvements to the footway, kerbing, signage and road markings and will include:

  • Raised crossings at Wilfrid Road and Shirland Lane, to slow down traffic and make it easier and safer for people to cross the road
  • An upgraded passage between Shirland Lane and Wilfrid Road to a segregated cycle track and footway, to make it easier and safer for people to walk, wheel and cycle

  Maintaining access and minimising disruption

  The works will be completed in phases to minimise disruption. Three-way temporary traffic signals will be used at certain stages at the junction with Shirland Lane. A temporary closure of Shirland Lane will also be required to complete the improvements, with advance notice and diversion information to be provided.

  Access to properties and businesses will be maintained throughout the works

  Keeping you informed

  Advance notice signs will be placed in the area before works start.

  We understand these changes may require some adjustment, but they are necessary to ensure work can be carried out safely.

  We apologise for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we complete these improvements.

  If you have any further questions, please email DACC.information@amey.co.uk. Phone between 9am-5pm from Monday to Friday on 07926 289768.

  
  

  Frequently Asked Questions

  What will the impact on vehicles travelling along Worksop Road be?

  Worksop Road will remain open to traffic in both directions throughout the works. For most of the construction period, there will be one narrow lane in each direction.

  Some on-street parking will need to be temporarily removed to provide enough space for traffic to continue travelling safely in both directions.

  Temporary traffic lights may also be used on short sections of the road while parts of the work are completed. Drivers may need to allow additional time for their journeys.

  Will there be any road closures or diversion routes during the works?

  There will be no permanent road closures as part of these works. However, some side roads, including Bootle Street and Leeds Road, may need to close temporarily while work takes place across their junctions, and to carry out works safely.

  Clearly signed diversion routes will be put in place whenever a temporary closure is required.

  Will loading and deliveries for businesses be affected?

  Businesses will continue to be able to receive deliveries during the works. However, some on-street parking on Worksop Road will need to be temporarily removed so that traffic can continue to travel in both directions.

  Where appropriate, deliveries can take place from nearby side streets. Loading and unloading can take place on double yellow lines where this is permitted and the vehicle is only stopped for the time needed to make the delivery or collection.

  Dedicated loading bays are also planned on Worksop Road between Attercliffe Road and Leeds Road as part of the proposed red route arrangements.

  We understand that construction work can be concerning for local businesses. Access to businesses will be maintained, and the site team will work with businesses to understand any particular delivery or collection requirements. Where difficulties arise, the team will do everything reasonably possible to reduce disruption and help businesses continue operating.

  Will parking be affected during the works?

  Yes. Some on-street parking will need to be temporarily removed so that traffic can continue to travel safely in both directions while the work takes place.

  Some parking spaces on Worksop Road will also be removed permanently to provide space for the new segregated cycle track. The Council is looking at opportunities to provide alternative on-street parking nearby. Any proposed changes would be advertised through a Traffic Regulation Order and would be subject to statutory consultation. Further information will be provided when the consultation dates are confirmed.

  Where possible, people are encouraged to consider walking, wheeling, cycling or travelling by bus or Supertram. Attercliffe tram stop is a short walk from Worksop Road.

  We recognise that some people may still need to drive. Free council-run car parks are available nearby on:

  • Shortridge Street
  • Zion Lane
  • Bodmin Street
  • Baltic Road
  • Kimberley Street

  Will bus services or bus stops be affected during the works?

  There may be temporary changes to some bus services or bus stops while the works take place. Please check the latest information from Travel South Yorkshire before travelling.

  Will pedestrian routes be affected during the works?

  Pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the works, although short temporary diversions may be needed in some locations so that work can be carried out safely.

  As part of the improvements, the existing zebra crossing near Oasis Academy will be replaced with a signal-controlled crossing for pedestrians and cyclists.

  Will emergency services still be able to access the area?

  Yes. Access for emergency services will be maintained at all times. Some routes may change during the works, but access will always be provided.

  Are there any other works planned on Worksop Road?

  The work is being completed on one side of Worksop Road at a time to help reduce disruption and keep traffic moving.

  The works beginning in November 2026 cover the northern side of Worksop Road between Attercliffe Road and Chippingham Street. Once this has been completed, work will move to the southern side, progressing from Chippingham Street towards Attercliffe Road.

  Work on the southern side is currently scheduled to begin in March 2027 and be completed by July 2027. Regular updates will be provided throughout the construction period.

  As part of the Connecting Sheffield: Darnall – Attercliffe – City Centre project, we are improving streets to make them safer, greener and more welcoming for everyone.

  The changes aim to support regeneration in the area, safer journeys and sustainable travel for local people, and will give you more choice in how you travel, whether you’re walking, wheeling, cycling or travelling by bus.

• Changes to parking and loading bays on Attercliffe Road’s side streets

  The Connecting Sheffield: Darnall - Attercliffe - City Centre project is improving Attercliffe Road to create a more reliable route for buses, provide better facilities for walking, wheeling and cycling, and make it easier for people to travel between Darnall, Attercliffe and the city centre. To achieve this, changes to parking and loading arrangements on Attercliffe Road and its side streets will be made.

  The map and table below provide a street-by-street summary of the current and new parking restrictions and loading arrangements that we will introduce as part of the works on Attercliffe Road.

  We have designed the changes to:

  support access for businesses and deliveries

  maintain loading opportunities

  improve visibility at junctions, and

  keep routes clear for larger vehicles.

  What are the changes to parking bays?

  We will also provide new 24-hour loading bays on a number of side streets to help businesses continue to receive deliveries once the new restrictions are in place.

  What are the changes to parking?

  Whilst some on-street parking will remain where space allows, the changes are expected to result in an overall reduction of approximately 40-45 parking spaces across the area. However, parking will continue to be available on selected side streets, in nearby car parks and in locations where restrictions allow.

  When are these changes being introduced?

  These restrictions, which will be introduced by mid-August 2026, are for information only and illustrate how the area will operate once the future red route is introduced later in the year. The changes are being implemented only on the side streets between Staniforth Road and Worksop Road.

  You can download both the existing and proposed maps as pdf so you can zoom in.

  The Connecting Sheffield: Darnall - Attercliffe - City Centre project is improving Attercliffe Road to create a more reliable route for buses, provide better facilities for walking, wheeling and cycling, and make it easier for people to travel between Darnall, Attercliffe and the city centre. To achieve this, changes to parking and loading arrangements on Attercliffe Road and its side streets will be made.

  The map and table below provide a street-by-street summary of the current and new parking restrictions and loading arrangements that we will introduce as part of the works on Attercliffe Road.

  We have designed the changes to:

  support access for businesses and deliveries

  maintain loading opportunities

  improve visibility at junctions, and

  keep routes clear for larger vehicles.

  What are the changes to parking bays?

  We will also provide new 24-hour loading bays on a number of side streets to help businesses continue to receive deliveries once the new restrictions are in place.

  What are the changes to parking?

  Whilst some on-street parking will remain where space allows, the changes are expected to result in an overall reduction of approximately 40-45 parking spaces across the area. However, parking will continue to be available on selected side streets, in nearby car parks and in locations where restrictions allow.

  When are these changes being introduced?

  These restrictions, which will be introduced by mid-August 2026, are for information only and illustrate how the area will operate once the future red route is introduced later in the year. The changes are being implemented only on the side streets between Staniforth Road and Worksop Road.

  You can download both the existing and proposed maps as pdf so you can zoom in.

• Work on Derek Dooley Way - May 2026

  As part of our Connecting Sheffield: Darnall–Attercliffe–City Centre project, which is improving transport links between Darnall, Attercliffe and the Lower Don Valley and the city centre, we will soon be starting work to create a right turn lane from Derek Dooley Way to Furnival Road / Effingham Road.

  What’s happening?

  From 8pm on Saturday 9 May to 6am on Sunday 10 May, Derek Dooley Way will be closed overnight in both directions between Sheffield Parkway and Wicker. This is so we can put traffic management in place for night working to create the right turn. This will begin on Monday 11 May, for around 15 weeks. We expect this phase of work to be complete by the end of August.

  Doing the work overnight allows us to reduce disruption for people travelling during the day along this busy route, and it also means our teams can work more safely. We will work from 8pm to 6am, Monday to Friday.

  We will also continue working over the weekends from Saturday 16 May. This will mean work can progress more quickly. Because there tend to be lower traffic volumes at the weekend, we will work during the day on Saturdays and Sundays, from 7.30am to 4pm.

  Diversion routes – Saturday 9 May

  Traffic will be diverted via the following signed diversion route:

  Savile Street – Attercliffe Road – Staniforth Road – Woodbourn Road – Cricket Inn Road / Broad Street – Park Square roundabout.

  You will still be able to access Quays Hotels via Park Square roundabout and Furnival Road.

  Travelling in the area from Monday 11 May

  Once the traffic management is in place, there will be two narrow traffic lanes running in both directions during the day. While we are working overnight and at weekends, one traffic lane will run in each direction.

  Please take extra care during roadworks. Allow more time for your journey, follow signed diversion routes, and drive within the speed limit to help keep everyone safe.

  Throughout the works, businesses along Attercliffe Road will be open as usual along with the council owned car parks off of the high street.

  Signage will be in place to explain the diversions, closures and provide more information on the project throughout the works.

  Furnival Road area of Derek Dooley Way

  The following changes will be put in place to ensure the safety of motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and those working on the project:

  • Derek Dooley Way: Two narrow traffic lanes will operate in each direction through the junction. Night-time works ware currently planned towards the end of March 2026, during which there will be one traffic lane in each direction on Derek Dooley Way. Further information will be provided closer to the time

  • Furnival Road (south of the junction): Permanently closed to northbound traffic between the junction of Quayside House and Derek Dooley Way. Vehicles will still be able to get to the car parks on Furnival Road from the Inner Ring Road, but the exit from the car parks will be via Exchange Place and Park Square Roundabout. 

  • Left turn from Derek Dooley Way into Furnival Road (north of the junction): Permanently closed. Access will be maintained via Savile Street, Sutherland Street, Leveson Street, Effingham Road and Effingham Street. 

  • Access for pedestrians and cyclists: Will be maintained, although cyclists may occasionally need to dismount. 

  • Taxi and bus cut-through: Southbound from Furnival Road across Derek Dooley Way will be permanently closed. Access to the city centre will be maintained via Park Square Roundabout. 

  We are working on Attercliffe Road between Staniforth Road and Worksop Road to make Darnall and Attercliffe safer, greener and easier to travel around.

  This phase of works will take around 15 weeks, with teams on site Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 5pm. So we can work safely to make the upgrades, we’ve had to close some routes but a diversion is in place for anyone heading towards the city centre.

  There are signs in the area to explain diversions, closures and parking restrictions.

  When the work is completed, there will be improved routes to make walking, wheeling and cycling easier. The upgrades will make journeys more reliable for everyone. These improvements are part of a long term effort to make local streets more welcoming, support people to walk, wheel and cycle and to strengthen links between Darnall, Attercliffe in an term effort to make local streets more welcoming, support people to walk, wheel and cycle and to strengthen links between Darnall, Attercliffe and the city centre.

• Data collection surveys

  Surveys have recently taken place along the Darnall-Attercliffe route to understand the number of people that currently walk and cycle at various points along the scheme. The surveys will help shape how an active travel scheme could look. We will only use the footage we capture to determine numbers, we won’t record any personal information like faces or number plates.

  This data collection exercise is one of the first stages of the project that will include further local consultation and engagement on the designs later-on in the year.
