New road layout: Harewood Road has reopened, following works to upgrade the railway line and install a signalised pedestrian crossing and automatic railway gates to make it safer for pedestrians/cyclists on Harewood Road to cross the tracks.
The new signalised pedestrian crossings and automatic railway gates will not be commissioned for use until after work at all three crossings is complete, in early to mid-2025. This is because the new pedestrian crossings, automatic railway gates and new flashing lights and bells have been designed in one new interlocking signalling system across Harewood Road, Langdons Road and Sawyers Arms Road railway crossings. Upgrade works at all three crossings must be completed before the switch over can happen from the old signalling system to the new one.
