VIDEOS showing how two major Bradford routes will look after multi million pound road works are carried out have been released by Bradford Council.
The Bradford to Shipley Route Improvement Scheme will see millions spent on transforming two routes between the town and the city centre.
Canal Road will be widened to become four lanes, with a renaturalised Bradford Beck running alongside stretches of it.

And Manningham Lane will become a two lane route, with a segregated cycleway, more vegetation and improved pedestrian facilities. Much of the road would also become a 20mph zone.
West Yorkshire Combined Authority has allocated £47.9m to the project – which could be completed by 2025.
At a meeting of the Council’s Executive on Tuesday members were shown videos of how the scheme could look.
One video shows how the cycle route will run alongside Manningham Lane – with a brief clip showing cyclists travelling past Lister Park.
The other video shows Canal Road, where the major route becomes Valley Road, with the beck running alongside it.
Work on the project is expected to begin in 2022.
