travel advice needed : Fri Feb 27, 2009 11:07 am  

I am coming to the Bulls game tonight from Durham.

I am having to visit my uncle at the Marie Curie hospice on leeds road on the way down.

the route i have been given is to head into Bradford on the A 658 and then around the ring road.

Is that a bad route in rush hour and is their any alternative such as going on the M621 and through Pudsey . Any advice appreciated

TBH at that time of the day all the routes between Bradford and Leds are just as bad.

If it is the Marie Curie in Bradford then put its post-code into google maps (or any other), zoom out until you can see the end of the M606 (Odsal is slightly to the left on Rooley Av, at the next roundabout in fact). Plan route accordingly.

Odsal roundabout is down to one lane at the moment due to roadworks.
It's always very busy in the early evenings and fridays always seem to be worse.
Anyone travelling to the game should set off a little early if possible to allow for delays at the roundabout.

And when they've finished working on the Odsal Roundabout, they'll leave it a month or two and then start digging it up again, much like they always do.

Add to that the ring road leading to the M606 roundabout is down to 2 lanes and it's a mess.
