Sheffield Parkway

The Sheffield Parkway is a major dual carriageway in the City of Sheffield, England. The 5.5 mile road was opened in 1974, and runs to the 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. On this route it passes the districts of Wybourn, Darnall, Handsworth, and the village of Catcliffe, at which a slip road connects to Sheffield City Airport, Sheffield Business Park and the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP). Many businesses and Sheffield attractions are located close to the Parkway as it is known in Sheffield, and it can become highly congested. For approximately 2.5 miles of its route the road forms a part of the A57 road, the rest being part of the A630 road.

On 27th September 2007 at around 3pm, an unexploded World War Two bomb was found whilst roadworks were taking place on the road. The road was closed in both directions around the Handsworth and Manor junctions, causing major traffic problems around the area, especially during rush hour.
