A series of temporary road closures and traffic restrictions have been introduced across York as utility and maintenance works take place on several streets.

City of York Council confirmed the temporary traffic measures under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, with restrictions affecting roads across the city during March and early April.

Among the changes, Kitchener Street was closed between Huntington Road and the boundary of property number 4 on March 9 while water mains works were carried out. The council said the work was expected to take around two hours.

A temporary 40mph speed restriction was also introduced on parts of the A59 and Shirbutt Lane in Hessay between March 9 and March 10 while telecoms works were completed.

In the city centre, Micklegate was closed to vehicles between Priory Street and Bar Lane from March 9 until March 23 for sewer works, although pedestrian and cycle access was expected to remain in place.

Diversions were signed via routes including Nunnery Lane, Skeldergate Bridge and Tower Street.

Elsewhere, a temporary restriction prevented vehicles turning left from Peasholme Green into Jewbury while traffic signal upgrades were carried out between March 10 and March 27. The council said the restriction was expected to be in place for around five days during the wider works period.

Night-time closures were also scheduled on Haxby Road between Hayley’s Terrace and a point 144 metres south of the junction while gas mains works were carried out between March 11 and March 13.

The road was expected to be closed between 8pm and 6am during the works.

Additional closures took place on Long Ridge Lane in Poppleton between March 12 and March 15 for electricity mains works, while a previous closure on Scarcroft Road between The Mount and Scarcroft Hill was extended until April 7 as water mains works continued.

Further restrictions were planned from mid-March, including closures on Burlington Avenue, Wheldrake Lane, Back Lane off White Cross Road, Dale Street, and parts of Eldon Terrace and Amber Street for telecoms, highway maintenance, gas mains and water supply works.

The council said emergency access and access to properties would be maintained where possible during the works, with diversion routes signposted where required.
