Road maintenance work on Tadcaster Road in Dringhouses, will get underway on Wednesday 20th May for a period of four weeks (weather permitting). The site extents are as shown on the map below. The works will be carried out between 9.00am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday only.

The resurfacing work follows the allocation of £633,000 from the council’s Highways budget for improvements to this stretch of road and cycle lanes.

In order to carry out the work safely, the use of phased lane closures under traffic lights will be necessary from the junction with Middlethorpe Drive to the junction with Knavesmire Road whilst works are taking place. Works will be carried out under 200 metre sections on a rolling process.  This is to ensure that adequate health and safety is maintained for both local residents, the travelling public and the contractor.  Site staff will be on hand to advise and assist residents about any access restrictions once the works are ongoing.

All on-street parking will be suspended for the duration of the works, but specific access requirements can be arranged by speaking to the site Traffic Management Operatives, who will coordinate with residents (and business requirements) around the ongoing work operations.

Household waste and recycling collections will take place as normal.

Whilst these works are taking place on Tadcaster Road, there will be some ‘large patching’ work done on St Helens Road. In order to carry out the work safely, the use of a full road closure from, but not including, the junction of Tadcaster Road up to, but not including, the access to Cross Keys car park will be necessary. The works at this location are likely to take no longer than one day.
