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.
