Road closure in Beverley as part of £86.9m Jock’s Lodge Improvement Scheme

One lane of a Beverley road will be closed for nine months to allow for construction work on the £86.9m A164 and Jock’s Lodge Improvement Scheme.

A half-mile section of the A164 Lincoln Way/Minster Way in Beverley will be closed to westbound traffic – those travelling in the Woodmansey-to-Morrisons supermarket direction – between Ward Way Roundabout and Victoria Roundabout (Morrisons roundabout).

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is to close the lane from Monday 14 October until Saturday 12 July next year. A diversion will be in place.

The eastbound lane of this section of A164 Lincoln Way/Minster Way – traffic travelling in the Morrisons-to-Woodmansey direction – will remain open as normal.

The road between the Lincoln Way roundabout and the junction with Dunnock Drive will also be closed to all traffic for the same duration, with a diversion in place.

And the footpath from Victoria/Morrison’s Roundabout, between the Pegasus crossing on Minster Way at Shepherd’s Lane, and between Lincoln Way Roundabout and the junction with Dunnock Drive, will also be closed for the same time.

The closure will not affect any other part of Minster Way.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is investing £46.2million in the A164 and Jock’s Lodge Improvement Scheme.

The Government’s Department for Transport has contributed £40.7m to the project.

Local councils join up to fund new medibus service

A new ‘medibus’ service has launched to help patients in west Hull and five East Riding parishes access health services at Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital.

Funded jointly by Hull City Council and East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the new Haltemprice & West Hull MediBus Service is now available for bookings.

Initially, the service will run as a trial until March 2025 when the councils expect to hear about future funding from the Department for Transport. The service will only be able to continue, long term, if it is shown there is real demand, through the number of passengers using it, allowing the councils to gain further Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) funding from the Government.

Temporary lane closure at Boothferry Bridge near Goole to replace CCTV cameras

One lane crossing Boothferry Bridge near Goole will be temporarily closed later in September to allow for the replacement of the bridge’s CCTV cameras.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council will use traffic lights to control traffic travelling over the bridge starting on Monday 30 September for up to two weeks, while the length of one lane and one footpath is closed.

The second lane and footpath will remain open.

Work delayed at Pocklington Household Waste Recycling Site

Work planned for the household waste recycling site at Pocklington has now been delayed – meaning it won’t close in September.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council had planned to temporarily close the site, in Pocklington Lane, Burnby, from Monday 23 September until December for essential improvements.

But the site will remain open as the work to install a new drainage system has now been rescheduled for next year, due to unforeseen circumstances.

A future date for the closure has yet to be announced.

We have a number of consultations that are live at the moment, some of which could be relevant to you. If they are, we’d love to hear your thoughts.
