Part of the A64 in between Scarborough and Malton will be closed for the next two to three weekends as part of a programme of ongoing repairs to the busy route.
Work to replace drainage gullies between East Knapton and West Heslerton, started at the end of September and is now complete, but from Friday night, the improvements enter their second phase, the resurfacing of both carriageways.
National Highways Project Manager Chris Dunn said:
“The first phase of work has gone well and we’d like to thank people for their patience while we carried out the improvements to the drainage system.
“We are now ready to start the resurfacing which includes repairs to the road foundation, removing several road layers in some areas which means deeper patches need time to cure. That’s why we need to close the road to carry it out. We advise people to allow extra time for their journeys and familiarise themselves with the diversion if necessary.”
Full closures will be in place from 8pm on Fridays to 6am on Mondays on the weekends of 4 to 7 November, 11 to 14 November and, if required, 18 to 21 November.
Eastbound traffic will be diverted onto the A169 at Malton, the A170 at Pickering and the B1261 to Staxton until re-joining the A64; the diversion for the westbound closure is the same route in reverse.
The work is part of a larger programme of improvements to the A64 which will continue in to next year.
