Hull Road – Melrosegate Junction Carriageway Resurfacing Works

City of York Council is to reconstruct the junction at Hull Road – Melrosegate Junction starting on the 20th October 2014.

The works are programmed to take 1 week to complete, working Monday to Friday between 7:00pm and 11pm.

To carry out the works safely, a road closure at Melrosegate and Green Dykes Lane will be in place near the Hull Road junction preventing traffic from using the junction of Hull Road and these two roads.

Hull Road will remain open under temporary traffic lights from 7:00pm and 11pm Monday to Friday, with some accommodation works taking place outside of these times.

Road to be closed

City of York Council is to reconstruct Hamilton Drive carriageway starting on the 27th October 2014.

This is 3 weeks later than originally planned

The works are programmed to take one week to complete, working Monday to Friday between 09.30am and 5.00pm. The area affected is shown on the plan.

The Council says “To carry out the works safely, the road closure will be in place from 09:30 to 17:00 Monday to Friday, with some accommodation works taking place outside of these times.

Due to the nature of the works and the deep excavations taking place, it will not always be possible for residents to gain vehicular access to their properties. In these circumstances residents should be prepared to use alternative parking.

Pedestrian access will be available at all times. Cyclists will have to dismount and use the footways when travelling through the affected areas”.

Sleepless nights as work overruns evening deadline

For the second night running, resurfacing works near Walmgate Bar have extended beyond the 11:00pm deadline.

Local residents have complained that they had been given no notice of the changes to working hours which were announced 2 weeks ago.

Earlier in the week a fractured water main was blamed for congestion but the Council have yet to explain the cause of the latest delays.

The Council originally said that works would be restricted to the period between the hours of 6.30pm and 11.00pm.

The works are scheduled to be finished by 19th September.
