UPDATED DATES FOR ROAD CLOSURES AS WORK ON NEW BROUGH ROUNDABOUT CONTINUES
There are updated dates for overnight road closures, as part of the project to build a new roundabout in Brough.
The overnight road closures are needed as work continues on the project to build the roundabout.
The nighttime closures between now and October are necessary, according to East Riding of Yorkshire Council, to join up arms on the £4.7 million A63/Welton Road Brough Junction Scheme, which is designed to improve a congested junction in the town.
Work began on the project in July last year and the roundabout is expected to be completed in November.
The scheme involves the construction of a large, three-lane roundabout with traffic signals to replace the busy junction at Welton Road, Welton Low Road, Water Lane and the A63.
Overnight closures will take place at the western end of Stanley Jackson Way from 7pm to 6am each night from Friday 30th August to Friday 13th September, to allow for the construction of the tie in with the realigned Water Lane.
A diversion will be in place via Broadley Way and Common Lane. Stanley Jackson Way will reopen during the day.
The workforce will also be working night shifts from 27th August to 26th September.
A nighttime closure is planned for the A63 westbound slip roads on Monday 16th September to Wednesday 25th September between 7pm to 6am.
A diversion will be in operation via A63 westbound to South Cave then returns to Brough via Elloughton, this also includes utilising a local diversion route via Broadley Way/Common Lane.
A nighttime closure is planned for Welton Road/Welton Low Road junction, this means the A63 eastbound slip roads being closed to and from Brough.
This will take place on Friday 4th October to Wednesday 9th October from 7pm to 6am.
A diversion route will be in operation via A63 Eastbound to Melton Interchange then returning A63 Westbound to return to Brough.
For traffic travelling between Brough and Welton/A63 east, a diversion route will be in place via Brough to South Cave Interchange to A63 eastbound.
Councillor Gary McMaster, the council’s portfolio holder for housing and infrastructure at East Riding of Yorkshire Council said: “Work on this roundabout is entering the final few months but there is still plenty to be done before we can open it.
“Thanks to residents and drivers for their patience during these nighttime closures as they are essential to the scheme.
“We’ve purposefully made sure to avoid any day-time road closures, so they cause as little disruption as possible.”
