Last updated 7th Apr 2025
CLOSURES will be in place on a major Bradford road this week, and it will impact visitors to Bradford Royal Infirmary.
Resurfacing work will be taking place on Duckworth Lane outside Bradford Royal Infirmary, with the road closed between St Leonard’s Road and Squire Lane between Monday 7 and Friday 11 April and on Monday 14 April.
Although the road closure is scheduled to be in place from 9.30am to 7pm, Bradford Council says contractors will “work as quickly as possible and reopen the road as soon as they can each day.”
Duckworth Lane and Squire Lane will have closures and diversions at various times throughout the works and diversions will direct vehicles towards Smith Lane entrances to the hospital.
Emergency vehicles will still have access to the hospital at all times. People are asked to use the visitor carparks which can be accessed via Smith Lane.
Those with appointments and visitors are advised to set off earlier than usual to account for delays and consider alternative travel options.
Bus stops near BRI will be suspended during the works, and updated bus routes are available on the West Yorkshire Metro website.
A Bradford Council spokesperson said: “We have discussed the plans for these works with Bradford Teaching Hospitals to ensure that emergency vehicle access can be maintained throughout the works. We’d like to apologise for the disruption cause by this essential work.”
A Bradford Teaching Hospitals spokesperson said: “Patients and visitors are advised to allow extra time for their journey to Bradford Royal Infirmary, please plan ahead and expect delays. The rear entrance to Bradford Royal Infirmary on Smith Lane will remain accessible, but please be aware that it may be busier than usual, and parking may be limited.”
