Resurfacing work and closures confirmed for A15

The work on a section of the A15 between Hessle and North Ferriby is expected to take two weeks to complete

A major road, close to the Humber Bridge, is to get a £200,000 upgrade, East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) has confirmed.

The foundation layer and the road surface of the A15 between the Humberfield roundabout and the junction with Ferriby High Road will be replaced.

Work is due to begin on 7 July and will include clearing vegetation from the adjoining footpaths.

The project should take two weeks and parts of the road will be closed between 20:00 to 05:00 BST from Monday to Saturday morning, the council added.

During the works, the westbound slip road off the A63 will be closed along with the A15 where the work is taking place.

Traffic for North Ferriby and the Humber Bridge will be diverted along the A63 to the Melton Interchange and back along the A63 for the Humber Bridge.

Adam Holmes, director of infrastructure and facilities at ERYC, said: "These are essential road improvements, and we have scheduled them to be carried out overnight, to cause the least disruption to traffic.

"We want to thank motorists and local residents and businesses in advance for bearing with us while the work is carried out."
