Works Update For A164 Humber Bridge To Beverley Route Improvement Scheme

Construction of the A164 Humber Bridge to Beverley Route Improvement Scheme continue to progress swiftly in the Cottingham/Willerby area, at Skidby and along the A164 towards Beverley.

Pipe work, forming part of the scheme's drainage system, is now substantially completed in the vicinity of Willerby (Ketch) roundabout and between the Willerby and sports centre roundabouts. Gully pots have been installed, kerbing works have commenced and excavation for the new footpath towards Willerby have also taken place. In addition, electricity, gas and telecommunication cable diversions have taken place at Willerby (Ketch) roundabout.

Street lighting columns have been installed along the new footpath/cycleway link between Castle Hill Road and Eppleworth Road, which is nearing completion, and drainage works are ongoing along the Eppleworth embankment to the north of Castle Hill roundabout.

At Skidby, the installation of pipe work, forming part of the scheme's drainage system, and the laying of foundations for gabion baskets has taken place. To the north of Skidby construction of the new footpath/cycleway link has started. Night work has been taking place at Skidby roundabout for the installation of service ducts crossing the road.

During the coming month at Willerby (Ketch) roundabout, excavation and stoning works will take place to form the enlarged roundabout in preparation for kerbing works. New lighting columns will be erected and feeder pillars installed and the new footpath link towards Willerby will be stoned and kerbed.

Between the Willerby (Ketch) roundabout and Castle Hill roundabout, kerbing will be installed and stone trimmed in advance of surfacing works. Between the sports centre and Castle Hill roundabouts, power and telecommunications cables will be diverted and to the north of Castle Hill roundabout drainage works will continue.

Drainage works will also continue at Skidby roundabout and gabion baskets will be installed in advance of excavation and stoning for the road construction and kerbing. Night work will continue for the installation of duct and drainage road crossings. Construction of the new footpath/cycleway will continue towards Beverley.

Carriageway re-surfacing works are due to take place over night along the A164, between West Ella road overbridge and Swanland roundabout, during week commencing Monday, 8 October.

The council will maintain one lane of traffic in each direction through the works during the day to reduce the impact on road users, with temporary traffic signal use restricted to off-peak periods and night working.
