Heckmondwike Bus Station
In partnership with the West Yorkshire Combined Authority, we are transforming the current bus hub into a fully accessible bus station, providing better transport links from the town centre.
Create a space where residents, businesses and visitors can continue to support their local community and help the economy thrive.
The scheme is funded by the Leeds City Region Transforming Cities Fund (TCF), a major programme of transport infrastructure investment. The government funded programme aims to help create a positive change in the way we travel across the region, providing an accessible, attractive, and cleaner alternative to car journeys.
Diversion and traffic management
For improvements to be carried out as efficiently and safely as possible, some diversion routes and traffic management will be in place. They may change as it progresses, however, diversion routes are sign posted. One of the best ways to keep up to date with traffic management and plan your journey is to use the free national roadworks map . Simply search the name of the roads affected and you can view planned works up to 12 months in advance.
