The Pinch Point scheme is supported through approximately £2million Department for Transport funding, which City of York Council successfully bid for and secured from a share of a £170 million Government Pinch Point Fund in 2013.
The £2million funding contributes towards the cost of the £4.7m overall project in this area which will help towards supporting local transport schemes that tackle congestion and support growth.
Improvements to the A19 south will benefit up to 10,000 motorists who use this route daily.
Phase one of the scheme will be split into sub-phases with the first starting week commencing 6 April for approximately four-weeks. This is expected to have minimal impact on traffic and is not located within close proximity to residents.
