WORK to improve the A61 Westwood roundabout in Tankersley will start this month.
The roundabout will be signalised with traffic lights installed to control the flow of traffic round the junction.
A road will also be cut through the centre of the roundabout and traffic following the A61 to and from Sheffield and Barnsley will continue across the junction without the need to negotiate the roundabout.
All of the approaches to the junction and the roundabout will also be widened as part of the scheme which will start on September 14.
All work will take place between 8pm and 6am, Monday to Friday only.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
