Silkstone Junction
The infilled land adjacent to the road overbridge on the A637 Barnsley Road, where it adjoins both the A637 Claycliffe Lane and the local road Barugh Lane at a mini roundabout, is being worked on in November 2020 in order to create a larger roundabout to more ably cope with the traffic volume along the A637. By chance I happened to be back down in the area and noted that the work had opened up the upper east side of the arch of the bridge that crossed over the former Silkstone Branch line just west of Silkstone Junction. See Image 74880. Backfilling of the cleared area is taking place, to support the new road section, and I was advised that the under bridge area is to be filled with concrete. View is looking north over the bridge from Barugh Lane, along Barnsley Road towards Darton.
