  12. New plans revealed for the A63 Castle Streetpublished at 10:42 Greenwich Mean Time 18 January 2017

    People 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.

    Road mapImage source, Highways England

    The 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.

    It cost more than £10,000 to clear up traveller sites in North East Lincolnshire last year, according to the council. 

    There are currently no temporary stopping sites in the area and in the past, camps like this one in Tetney have caused damage to private land. 

    More than 1,200 potential sites have already been looked at, but the council says none are suitable.
