Highways England - M621: J6 – 7

The client, Highways England, commissioned Elite Highways to install a combined environmental noise barrier and vehicle restraint system on the M621 motorway in Leeds. The project was completed in May 2020.

The noise barrier is 1.5 kilometers long and 3 meters high. It is made of concrete panels that are designed to reflect sound waves back to the source, reducing the amount of noise that reaches nearby homes and businesses.

The vehicle restraint system is designed to prevent vehicles from falling from the motorway embankment. It consists of a series of concrete barriers that are anchored to the ground.

The combined noise barrier and vehicle restraint system has been effective in reducing noise levels and improving road safety in the area. Residents and businesses in the vicinity of the motorway have reported a significant improvement in their quality of life.

Here are some additional details about the project:
