Poppleton Bar Park and Ride site and A59 improvements. Click to enlarge

The Council has confirmed that work will start on the Poppleton Bar Park and Ride site, and with it an enlarged A59/A1237 roundabout, on 10th June.

There is likely to be an increase in journey times over the next few months for residents living on the west of the City.

Considerable congestion is expected at certain times of the week during the autumn when the Council also plans to close Lendal Bridge to private vehicles.

The contractor for the A59 works will be Balfour Beatty Regional Civil Engineering Ltd. Construction design drawings showing what they will build can be downloaded from the City Council website at www.york.gov.uk/poppletonbar .
