Night works to make improvements to A1079 Hull Road, B1228 Elvington Lane and York Road, Dunnington

City of York Council is carrying out road maintenance works on the A1079 Hull Road and B1228 Elvington Lane, and York Road, Dunnington starting next week.

From Monday 23 September the council will be resurfacing the A1079 Hull Road and B1228 Elvington Lane. This is expected to be completed by the morning of Thursday 10 October, weather permitting. To minimise disruption teams will be working between 21.00 hrs and 05.00 hrs with the road being open to vehicle traffic during the day. While the night work takes place during the first week of the works, from Monday 23 September to Friday 27 September, there will be a convoy system in place (with a 10 mph speed limit), to safely escort vehicles through the road works. With effect from Monday 30 September to the morning of Thursday 10 October, there will be a road closure in place, between the hours of 21.00 hrs to 05.00 hrs, with signed diversions.

From Thursday 3 October until Friday 11 October, weather permitting, patching work will take place on York Road, Dunnington. This will see the road closed to vehicles (but still accessible for pedestrians and cyclists) between 7pm and midnight but it will be open during the day.

Weekend working is not expected to be necessary across both schemes.

Diversions are in place but there will be some disruption to the following bus services:

While the A1079 is closed, service 10L will operate a clockwise loop within Dunnington via Eastfield Lane and Petercroft Lane, stopping only at the Reading Room, Dunnington Cross and Church Balk stops. Services X46/X47 will divert through the village via Church Balk, Church Lane and Common Lane. During the convoy working phase, these services will remain on their normal route, but minor delays are likely.

When only York Road is closed, services 10 and 10L will divert through the village via Church Balk, Church Lane and Common Lane. The X46/X47 will stay on their normal route.

There will be no disruption to bus services using the B1228 Elvington Lane as these buses do not run at the times that the works will be taking place.

Access through the closures will be provided for pedestrians and cyclists along the existing narrow paths. During the periods when the road closures are in place, cyclists will be asked to dismount during when using this route due to the narrowness of the path.

The works will be carried out by the contractor ‘Lane Rental Services Ltd, working on behalf of the council. 

Ambassadors/site staff will be on hand on site to advise and assist residents and businesses about any access restrictions once the works are ongoing.    

While we are working to minimise disruption, delays are expected, so please plan ahead when making any journeys in the area during the works.  We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Residents and nearby businesses have already been alerted to the closures. Emergency services will always be permitted through the works at all times.
