Doncaster drivers warned of A1 roadworks and diversions

Drivers in Doncaster have been warned of potential disruption as works take place on the A1.

Giving an update on the project to upgrade the route between Redhouse to Barnsdale Bar,

National Highways Yorkshire said: “Since we began our programme of lighting and safety upgrades on the A1 between Redhouse and Barnsdale Bar, we’ve replaced around 4.8km of safety barrier, upgraded lighting in the area to LED, replaced missing or damaged marker posts and removed the disused bus stop structure and layby on the A1 northbound near Skellow footbridge.

“Work on the southbound carriageway is now complete.

“The work on the northbound carriageway is due to be complete by 30 April except the section in front of the Skellow garage (ESSO services).

“This is due to issues with underground services which will need to be removed or diverted before the works can be completed.

“Access to the A1 northbound is via the A638 Wakefield Road and junction 38 (Redhouse).

We apologise for the delay and any further inconvenience. We're working to have this completed as soon as we can.”
