Weekend resurfacing work to close A64 eastbound

A stretch of the A64 will be closed for resurfacing works

A three-mile (5km) stretch of the A64 in Yorkshire is to be closed to allow resurfacing work to take place.

The eastbound carriageway will be shut between junction 44 of the A1(M) at Bramham and the junction with the A162 near Tadcaster.

National Highways said the road would be closed from 20:00 BST on Friday until 08:00 on Saturday, and then again from 14:00 on Saturday until 06:00 on Monday.

The northbound exit slip road from junction 44 of the A1(M) to Bramham Roundabout will also need to be closed during the same times. A signed diversion will be in place throughout.
