We are consulting on our proposals to improve journeys on the Trans-Pennine route between the Manchester and Sheffield city regions.
This follows on from our public consultation in 2017. Please visit the previous consultation page to find out more details and read the consultation report.
This new consultation will help us to shape the scheme before we submit our planning application for consent to build it. We are proposing to deliver the following elements as part of our preferred package:
* please note that these elements of the scheme do not require planning permission but we would still like to hear your thoughts on our plans.
The existing route connecting the M67 at Mottram in Longdendale to the M1, north of Sheffield, mostly consists of single carriageway sections with steep gradients and sharp bends. The existing route currently causes a number of negative issues for local people.
Sections of the route can also be badly affected by poor weather and accident rates are above the national average. The road is often closed for these reasons, which means it is not as reliable as it should be. The lack of technology in the area, such as electronic information signs, also means that there is little information available for road users to make effective decisions about their journey.
We are holding a public consultation on route options from 12 February to 25 March 2018.
Please take part in the consultation: all of the consultation information is available on this webpage including a brochure with a summary of the proposed route and our consultation response form.
