There will be a signed diversion via the A169, Pickering, Scarborough, and the A171, according to the council, adding that it will not be possible to drive a vehicle through the junction from any of the four arms during the closure.
It noted that some adjustment to the start date and duration of the works “may be necessary should unforeseen circumstances, such as significant weather or emergencies on the highway network, arise”.
