The A64 is going to be closed every day from Monday (1st November) until early December, near York, to allow essential maintenance to take place.

The road will close every day between Barr Lane and Claxton, from 8pm to 6am, with a diversion in place.

National Highways will be resurfacing both carriageways between Barr Lane and Claxton as well as part of Scotchman Lane. They’ll also be painting new road markings, replacing studs and carrying out drainage work.

National Highways Project Manager Richard Burgess said: “This work is essential to keep the A64 in a safe, smooth condition for our customers.

“For the safety of roadworkers and the public, we’ll need to close the A64 in both directions between Barr Lane to Claxton overnight from 8pm to 6am, Monday to Friday. A fully signed diversion via the A169 and A170 will be in place which has been agreed in advance with the police and local authority.

“The diversion route has been planned to consider the needs of local communities and will extend journey times considerably so we’re advising road users to allow more time and plan their journeys in advance.”
