Nine-month road closure in Beverley as £86.9m Jock’s Lodge scheme…

One side of a Beverley road will be shut for nine months as construction work on the £86.9m A164 and Jock's Lodge Improvement Scheme continues. A half-mile stretch of the A164 Lincoln Way/Minster Way will be closed to westbound traffic for those heading from Woodmansey towards Morrisons supermarket between Ward Way Roundabout and Victoria Roundabout (Morrisons roundabout). East Riding of Yorkshire Council plans to close the lane from Monday, October 14 until Saturday, July 12 next year, with a diversion route in place.

A section of the A164 is set to be expanded into a dual carriageway in an effort to alleviate traffic congestion. The A164 and Jock's Lodge Improvement Scheme, which commenced in January, is expected to be completed by 2026. The project is being carried out by contractor GRAHAM on behalf of the council.
