A629 Cononley Crossroads Improvement
Public Consultation on Scheme Proposals
Route proposals
The alignment of the road would be improved by the provision of a new single carriageway running north to south for approximately 2.2km from the property of Craven Forge to the property of Rafters. The new route would be constructed mostly off-line to the west of the existing A629. The Cononley Crossroads junction would be replaced by two separate T-junctions. Cononley Lane Junction would remain on the line of the existing side road. Farnhill Lane would be realigned to follow the redundant A629 and form a new T-junction approximately 500m to the north.
The proposed route would generally run on embankment above and to the east of the River Aire flood plain. Where necessary, flood relief culverts and flood storage areas would be provided to ensure that flood plain capacity in the valley is not compromised by the scheme.
A 7.3m wide carriageway with 1m hardstrips would be provided with grass verges on either side. Along the redundant sections of the existing A629, a part carriageway width would be retained for use by pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders and to provide access for the maintenance of utilities running along the route. The remainder of the width would be broken out, landscaped and planted
The route would remain unlit.
