A financial agreement over orders to detrunk part of the A629 road has caused concern among parish councillors in Steeton and Eastburn.
The agreement - made between Bradford Council and the Highways Agency - was highlighted in a letter to councillors following their objections to the plans in January.
Members said they feared Bradford Council, which was to take over the responsibility of the road from the Highways Agency, would not spend money on it.
Councillor David Mullen said: "I can see that this will become a money issue for Bradford Council again. The de-trunked road will need repairing and it won't get done."
Parish councillors agreed to write to Bradford Council to ask that the money be used specifically to maintain that part of the Aire Valley trunk road.
