The Project delivered active travel improvements including a new cycleway on Doncaster Road in Goldthorpe.  It delivered 4 x new crossings, 19 x improved crossings, 700m of new Active Travel route and 1800m of improved active travel routes. The scheme was complete by March 2024.

The scheme delivered 3.6km of active travel route improvements along the A635 Doncaster Road in Ardsley and Darfield. The scheme adds to existing infrastructure and makes it safer and more convenient to travel actively between Goldthorpe and Stairfoot.

The scheme was funded by the Transforming Cities Fund, from central government, and delivered in partnership with the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority (SYMCA).

The improvements the scheme delivered are as follows:

• Widening of footways along the A635 Doncaster Road within Ardsley and Darfield and upgraded to shared use.
• Three new multi-modal crossing points within the Ardsley addressing concerns with safety and severance.
• Prohibition of motor vehicles on a section of Fitzwilliam Road, Darfield, creating a dedicated active travel lane.
• One new multi-modal crossing point across the A6195 to connect the improved route with existing infrastructure.
