Sheffield Parkway

The route runs east of the City, connecting Park Square in the city centre with the inner ring road, outer ring road and out to the M1 motorway at junction 33.

It passes the districts of the city council which are former villages: Wybourn, Darnall and Handsworth and the large village of Catcliffe, at which a slip road connects to Sheffield Business Park and the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP).

At Handsworth the road passes through Bowden Housteads Woods, where it is possible to see the Parkway Man statue.

[1] Many businesses and Sheffield attractions are within sight of The Parkway, as it is known in South Yorkshire, and it can become highly congested.

The upgrade will also include new barriers, traffic lights, resurfacing and a permanent speed restriction of 50 mph.
