Repair work on the bridge remains on schedule.
The scaffolding has been removed from the bridge as all the installation of the stonework is now complete.
The site cabins have also been moved from the bridge to provide access for the next stage of the works.
 Work is now moving on to re-pointing the areas of the bridge that were not previously accessible by scaffolding.
Now that the scaffolding has been removed, work is ongoing to replace and recondition the traffic signals and also replacing the street light columns.
In order to prevent any future vehicle strikes to the bridge eight bollards are being installed, four on each side of the bridge.
 Eight bollards are being installed on the bridge to prevent vehicles from striking the parapet.
 New streetlight columns being installed.
 Traffic signals on the bridge are currently being replaced and reconditioned.
 The council’s regular business services are available to all businesses, giving access to one-to-one advice as well as what grants are available.
However support cannot directly compensate for cash losses due to the bridge closure.
If you would like to talk to a member of the team, please email darren.roberts@eastriding.gov.uk in the first instance.
For the duration of the project, a temporary signed diversion is in place for traffic travelling along the A166 Driffield to York route.
An official signed diversion is also in place for all traffic via the A1079, which larger vehicles are advised to follow.
Alternative local routes are available for smaller vehicles.
We advise anyone travelling to allow additional time to make journeys and would like to remind people to observe speed limits along diversion routes.
We would like to thank residents and drivers for bearing with us while we carry out this project.
