A further drop-in session is being held to provide residents and businesses with an opportunity to look at detailed plans and clarify aspects of the Tadcaster Road sustainable transport scheme. The session will be held at St Edward the Confessor Church Hall on Sunday 8 January 12.30 – 4pm.

The main construction works for the scheme are due to start during the week commencing 2nd January 2023, with an estimated completion date of September 2023. Works will be carried out Monday to Friday between 7.30am and 6pm. No works are expected to take place during the weekends, but if required the working hours will be Saturday 9.15am to 4pm and Sunday 9 am to 4pm.

There are no overnight works planned during the early stages of the scheme. If required, these may be during the final stages for road surfacing works.  Residents and businesses will be notified in advance should this be the case.

Contractor, Jackson Civil Engineering, have set up site compounds at Sim Balk Lane (main compound) and the Knavesmire (smaller sub-compound).

Construction of the main works including new bus, walking and cycling improvements will take place at the same time as much needed highway maintenance work to upgrade the drainage, street lighting and road and footpath surfacing. Delivering these works at the same time will help to minimise the amount of disruption to residents, businesses and the users of Tadcaster Road. 

The scheme is being delivered by City of York Council in partnership with the Department for Transport (Local Highways Maintenance Challenge Fund : £5m) and West Yorkshire Combined Authority (Transforming Cities Fund : £1.4m).
