The City Connect Phase 3: Bradley to Brighouse Greenway is a scheme funded by the West Yorkshire plus Transport Fund (WY+TF) and is included in the City Connect Phase 3 (CC3) Programme.
The project will deliver a 6.5km high quality cycle and walking route between the settlements of Bradley and Brighouse crossing the Kirklees and Calderdale border. The route will predominantly be delivered off the highway but provide strategic links to the highway network, where required, to complement a number of other highways improvement schemes planned for the area. The project will complete a long standing ‘missing link’ in the strategic cycle network in the region and National Cycle Network.
The Outline Business Case for the project was approved to the Combined Authority 01 October 2019 for £350,000 development costs for scheme design, land purchase, and business case development to FBC+, for which authorisation is sought.
