New plans revealed for the A63 Castle Streetpublished at 10:42 GMT 18 January 2017
Gill Sennett
BBC Radio HumbersidePeople have been asked to have their say on plans to improve the A63 Castle Street junction in Hull.
Highways England have started a public consultation which will go on until 13 February.
If the plans get the go ahead, work could start in 2018/19 and could take between 3 and 5 years to complete.
Image source, Highways EnglandThe proposals are to lower the A63 around the Mytongate junction to allow a new road bridge to carry traffic over the A63 from Ferensway to Commercial Road.
There will be two footbridges for pedestrians and cyclists. One will link the Princes Quay area of town with the marina, the other is planned for near Porter Street and the Arco building.
A number of junctions will also be closed meaning you won't access them from the A63. They're St James Street, Dagger Lane, Fish Street, Vicar Lane and Humber Street.
