Delivering High-Performance Cycle Infrastructure in Bradford

Introduction

Jointline delivered a cycle infrastructure improvement scheme in Bradford for a valued long-term client, supporting the development of safer and more accessible sustainable transport routes. The project focused on the application of high-performance surface materials to create clear, durable cycle lane markings suitable for long-term use.

The Challenge

The scheme required the installation of highly visible and durable markings capable of withstanding frequent traffic and variable weather conditions. Timing was critical, as the works needed to be completed ahead of forecast adverse weather to ensure material performance and programme continuity. Maintaining safety for both operatives and the public throughout the works was also a key priority.

The Solution

Jointline utilised SWARCO HITEX LTD thermoplastic and Puma Track MMA to deliver a robust and long-lasting finish. These materials were selected for their durability, skid resistance, and enhanced visibility, making them well-suited for cycle infrastructure.

Careful planning and efficient project coordination enabled the team to complete the works within the required timeframe. Traffic management was delivered in collaboration with Roadway TM, ensuring a safe working environment and minimising disruption to the public.

The Benefits

The completed scheme provides clear, high-visibility cycle markings that enhance safety and usability for cyclists. The use of durable materials ensures long-term performance, reducing maintenance requirements and lifecycle costs.

By delivering the project ahead of adverse weather conditions, Jointline ensured the integrity of the installation and avoided potential delays. The scheme contributes to improved accessibility and supports the wider adoption of sustainable transport within the Bradford area.
