• 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.

• 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.

• Works to start in Attercliffe and the city centre

  We will shortly be starting work on our Connecting Sheffield Darnall-Attercliffe-City Centre project. The work will begin on Monday 16th February in two locations:

  • Furnival Road area of Derek Dooley Way

  Attercliffe Road between Staniforth Road and Worksop Road

  A diversion will be in place for traffic heading towards the city centre from the junction with Newhall Road so we can work safely to make the upgrades to Attercliffe high street. An alternative cycle route will also be in place for cyclists travelling southbound.

  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.
