# Esh Completes Elland Access Piling

Esh Construction has completed piling for Calderdale Council’s approximately **£22.6 million Elland Access Package**, a construction milestone on a scheme intended to improve walking and cycling links around Elland and West Vale. The wider works include two pedestrian and cycle bridges and connections to the planned Elland railway station. Funded by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and the UK Government, the project was procured through the YORcivil3 framework.

- The project is a relevant benchmark for firms pursuing civil engineering, active-travel and transport-infrastructure work in West Yorkshire, including opportunities procured through regional frameworks.
- Procurement teams can use the package’s stated scope—bridges, route connections and links to planned rail infrastructure—to inform planning for comparable integrated transport projects.
- Esh’s completed piling marks progress on the wider works; the source does not specify a separate forthcoming procurement or deadline.
