Businesses are open during Poppleton highways works

12th April 2012 Poppleton revised layout

‘Businesses are open’, is the message City of York Council is emphasising whilst contractors complete overnight highways works in the North of the city.

Works to improve the area surrounding the A59/A1237 junction in preparation for the opening of the new Poppleton Bar Park&Ride site have been extended because of unforeseen circumstances.

The period of night time working is being extended due to a number of unexpected utility services and difficult ground conditions that have been encountered. The works will continue to take place overnight to minimise overall disruption during peak travel times.

Access is available to all businesses and properties during these periods but drivers may need to follow diversions.

The overnight works are taking place as follows:

A59: May 22 – June 15 2014 (not including Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays). Nightshifts controlled by temporary traffic signals. No access to A1237 from A59 during overnight works (May 22 to June 6)

A1237: May 22 – June 6 2014 (not including Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays). Nightshifts under temporary closure from Wetherby Road (B1224) to Great North Way (York Business Park).

The temporary closure will not be implemented on Bank Holiday Monday (26 May) and for the remainder of that week the road will be closed at 10pm until 6am the following morning. Outside of those dates the closure will be from 8pm until 6 am.
