Beverley's A164 closed overnight for upgrade works

The scheme is due to be completed by the end of 2026

Motorists will see five overnight closures on the A164 in East Yorkshire from Monday as part of an £86.9m improvement scheme.

The road between Skidby roundabout and Coppleflat Lane junction near Beverley will be shut between 20:00 and 05:00 GMT, East Riding of Yorkshire Council said.

Workers will install barriers and remove road markings ahead of a separate upgrade at the Jock's Lodge junction.

The scheme should be finished in 2026.

Council funding of £46.2m will be topped up by £40.7m from the Department for Transport.

The Jock's Lodge junction links two of the area's busiest roads - the A164 (Beverley to the Humber Bridge) and the A1079 (Hull to York).

The scheme includes:

• A new roundabout along the A1079 and a new road connecting it with the Lincoln Way/Minster Way roundabout in Beverley

• Two new roads, both northbound and southbound, which will connect the new A1079 roundabout with the A164 further south, near Coppleflat Lane, Bentley

• The A164 will also be widened into a dual carriageway between Coppleflat Lane and the roundabout with the B1233 Harland Way, Cottingham

Last year, Roads Minister Richard Holden confirmed the project is one of the first to benefit from money saved by the government decision to cancel part of HS2.
