A week of road closures are on the way for Willerby Roundabout
Overnight resurfacing work will take place for six nights next week
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is nearing the end of the £1.9m Willerby Roundabout Improvement Scheme with the aim of easing congestion at the A164/B1332 roundabout.
The project is due to finish this month but a six-night closure is needed to allow for resurfacing work to be carried out.
The roundabout will be shut overnight only from Monday 15th to Saturday 20th April between 8pm and 6am. The roundabout will reopen in the daytime. Diversion routes will be in place.
New traffic signals are planned to be commissioned and programmed on Wednesday 24th April - this may lead to further delays.
The Willerby Roundabout scheme started in September last year and was due to finish in February, but exceptionally wet weather over autumn and winter forced its completion to be delayed until this month.
Councillor Gary McMaster, the council’s cabinet member for housing and infrastructure, said:
“We’d like to thank drivers and residents for bearing with us during these nighttime road closures as we enter the final stages of this scheme.
“The closures are essential for us to be able to resurface the road around the roundabout. We have made sure these take place at night to avoid the most disruption.
“When this project is complete, we hope drivers will experience a much-improved roundabout and suffer far less queuing at this roundabout.”
