Road works scheduled for Water End

New Steam Roller

Bridge maintenance works have been scheduled at Severus Bridge (owned by City of York Council) which carries Water End over the railway.

The works are scheduled for the Saturday evenings of 27 June and 11 July beginning at 1930hrs until the early hours of the morning.

The works will involve investigation and repairs to the bridge supporting pier and road surface.  Further future works may result from these inspections. 

Road traffic will be restricted to single lane working by traffic lights on the 27June for the inspection. Depending on the outcome of the investigations the road may need to be closed for any repairs on 11 July. A separate road closure notice will be issued for this restriction if required.

Works on the bridge supporting pier are being undertaken in co-operation with Network Rail under a limited track possession to allow access.

Copmanthorpe road works next week

City of York Council will be carrying out essential resurfacing works on School Lane, Copmanthorpe from 15 June.

road works

The work is expected to take one week, finishing on Friday 19 June. Work will take place between 8am and 5.30pm.

In order to carry out these works safely, a temporary road closure of School Lane will be in place. Residents are advised there will be no access or egress for vehicles during working hours except in emergencies. There will be no on-street parking during these times. Residents who require vehicular access are asked to inform operatives onsite to ensure safety. Vehicular access will only be allowed if it is safe to do so. Pedestrian access will be available at all times.

As with any construction work, there is likely to be a certain amount of disruption. Residents are assured that everything reasonably possible will be done to keep this to a minimum, however motorists should expect some delays and plan their journey accordingly.

The contractor carrying out the work will be responsible for safety.

Buses not running via St Helen’s Road

The number 4 bus service is continuing to avoid St Helen’s Road where there are ongoing works to the gas main.

The First bus web site is still quoting the reason for the diversion of it’s number 4 service as the burst water main, although this was fixed some time ago.

The number 4 is currently routing via Chaloners Road/Moor Lane/Tadcaster Road missing out the Eason View/Thanet Road loop as well as St Helen’s Road.

Northern Gas have confirmed that they expect to complete work on their main on Friday 29th May 2015.

St Helens Road

Yorkshire Water repair workers have left St Helen’s Road but street still closed.

Yorkshire Water contractors and their plant have now left St Helen’s Road. 

However the road is still officially closed. There has been no recent update report or explanation.

Some motorists have started using the road again and are weaving through the chicanes.

St Helen's Road 1400 hours 15th may 2015. Workers and plant gone. Road still officially closed.

St Helen’s Road 1400 hours 15th may 2015. Workers and plant gone. Road still officially closed.

Motorists advised to avoid Tadcaster Road if possible this afternoon

St Helen's Road 1400 hours 13th May 2015

St Helen’s Road 1400 hours 13th May 2015

It looks like Tadcaster Road will be very congested at teatime.

St Helen’s Road is still closed although now relatively free of surface water following the burst main earlier today. Workers are still digging their way down to the source of the problem. There is access for pedestrians and cyclists (who will need to dismount next to the roadworks)

It is race day so several hundred vehicles will be leaving the Knavesmire at tea time.

Those who can are advised to avoid driving down Tadcaster Road.

The number 4 bus route diversion remains in place.

Number 4 bus service diverted because of St Helen’s Road burst water main

  • Area: St Helens Bridge in Dringhouses
  • Cause: Burst Water Main

We have a road closure at St. Helens bridge in Dringhouses.

Service 4 is operating down Tadcaster Road to Askham Bar Roundabout and then diverting via Moor Lane Bridge, Chaloners Road and Thanet Road and back on normal service at Eason View.

Coming into York from Acomb we are running normal service to Eason View then left onto Thanet Road, left onto Chaloners Road and then left over Moor Lane bridge and onto Tadcaster Road picking up normal route at Cross Keys pub.

The diversion is due to a burst water main at the bridge and is expected to last for the foreseeable future.
