Update – A64 Sand Hutton to Whitwell Duals resurfacing – overnight road closure 4 October

/in /by

Good morning

We’re getting back in touch with an update on repairs we have been carrying out to areas of defective carriageway on the A64 between Sand Hutton and Whitwell on the Hill over the last two weekends.

We have also been renewing worn out road markings on this road and at junctions along this route.

First, we wish to thank you very much for your support and patience while we have carried this work out.

As you may be aware, this work is weather dependent and, unfortunately, the rain over the last two weekends has meant that some of this work has been delayed.

We will therefore need one further overnight closure on the night of Saturday 4 October. The closure will be in both directions of the A64 between Hopgrove and Claxton between 8pm and 6am the following morning.

We are getting in contact with residents directly affected by the closures to let them know of access arrangements.

We have recently been made aware of a retrospective planning application relating to production levels at a feed mill in Coulton near Hovingham.

We feel it is of local interest as some Heavy Goods Vehicles will be accessing the feed mill via Flaxton and therefore contributing to the number of HGVs passing through the village.
