Major milestones for Jock's Lodge road transformation
 Yesterday, Thursday 14 August, the Jock's Lodge project reached a landmark with the following changes:
- The current Jock’s Lodge junction on the A164 will be closed, its traffic lights removed and the slipways on to the A1079 will be closed. Traffic will no longer be able to access the A1079 from Jock’s Lodge,
- Instead, traffic will be switched over to a newly built section of the A164 road travelling between Bentley and the Lincoln Way roundabout on Minster Way in Beverley,
- This will be the new way to access the A1079. Traffic will travel to a newly constructed roundabout on the A1079 along the new route between Bentley and Minster Way,
- The current section of the A164 between the Morrison’s roundabout and Bentley will be closed to all except local traffic.
