A bombing targeted on August 26, 1992, Algeria’s Houari Boumedienne Airport. It was evidence that the country was headed towards a confrontation between the security forces and Islamist extremists. The bombing was not the first attack carried out by supporters of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in wake of the annulment of elections which the party was on the brink of winning. The results of the first round of the elections were annulled in January 1992, marking the beginning of what is known in Algeria as the “Black Decade” that left thousands of casualties.

The new plan, which replaces a formerly proposed bypass and flyover scheme, includes a new roundabout at Cooper Bridge, the widening of part of Leeds Road as well as several bridges, and a focus on a stretch of the A62 between Bradley junction and Oak Road.
Traffic engineers with Kirklees Council say the built-up nature of the area prevents them from physically transforming the Leeds Road/Bradley Road/Colne Bridge Road junction.
Thus they have opted to ban vehicles from turning right into Bradley Road, reasoning that that will push higher volumes of traffic through the junction towards Huddersfield.
