York Station Gateway revamp work gets under way
- Published
Work on the York Station Gateway project started on Monday
The first phase of a major scheme to revamp the area surrounding York railway station has started.
A six-week closure on the Queen Street slip road has been put in place, allowing for work on the Station Gateway plan to get under way.
The slip road closure was to allow for the demolition of the footbridge to the York Railway Institute building, City of York Council said.
The closure was expected to be lifted by 24 November, it added.
Queen Street bridge and local businesses would remain open during this stage, the local authority added.
A diversion for vehicles and cyclists runs through the station's long stay car park entrance.

The overall project is due to be completed in 2025, with Queen Street bridge set to be removed and a new Station Square built.
The initial works, which are expected to cost £7.8m, will also see cycle lanes and footpath improvements along with bus stop upgrades.
