St Leonards Place, Bootham, GillygateCarriageway Resurfacing Works
Bootham – Gillygate roadworks from 17th November 2014
City of York Council have announced that it is to reconstruct the junction at St Leonards Place, Bootham, Gillygate starting on the 17th November 2014.
The works are programmed to take 1 week to complete, working Monday to Friday between 7:00pm and 5:00am.
To carry out the works safely, a temporary full road closure will be in place between 7:00pm and 5:00am Monday to Friday, with some accommodation works taking place outside of these times.
Due to the nature of the works and the deep excavations taking place, it will not be possible for the buses to access the bus stops on St Leonards Place and all buses will be diverted to temporary bus stops.
Residents and visitors will have pedestrian access to properties and local attractions and Traffic Management Officers will be on site to escort pedestrians where required.
Residents in the works area will have pedestrian access to their properties but no vehicular access will be possible during the hours of working. Parking is not permitted on any of the roads involved. The car park entrance within the works will be affected and may not be accessible at all times during the works. Access to Marygate and Union Terrace car parks will still be available from Bootham and Clarence Street respectively.
Emergency services will be permitted through the works in an emergency situation and pedestrian access will be available at all times. Cyclists will have to dismount and use the footways when travelling through the affected areas.
We have several school events on in the evenings during that week including a Parents evening. Please can you confirm that it is just the junction with Lord Mayors Walk that will be affected. Can our parents still access the School from the Bootham /Gillygate Junction?
We will need to tell them in advance that they will have to approach the School from Bootham and turn left into Gillygate and then left again into Portland Street if this is the case.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Jeanne Long, Administration Manager
It is the Bootham/Gillygate/St Leonards Place junction that will be closed in the evening. The Lord Mayor’s Walk junction is not affected and access to the Bootham Row car park will be maintained.
