The 146 streets in East Yorkshire getting road improvements this…

Almost 150 roads in East Yorkshire will be upgraded in a major road improvements scheme. Road improvements worth £3m are due to begin in the East Riding this spring and summer to help protect against potholes and other damage. East Riding of Yorkshire Council is investing the money in its annual surface dressing programme, with 146 stretches of road in the area due to be upgraded as part of the scheme. The work will take place between April and September on A roads to unclassified routes. Signs will be placed on all roads to be surface dressed a week before the work takes place and there will be 20mph speed limits.

The work involves spraying hot, sticky bitumen onto the road, spreading chippings on top, and then using a roller to press them in. Road sweepers are then used to clear any loose chippings a couple of days later. The process actively reduces the risk of potholes forming as it seals the road and stops water from entering and damaging the surface and it also greatly improves skid resistance for vehicles. These are the 146 East Riding roads that will be upgraded: Applegarth Lane, Bainton Kirkburn Road, Bainton Neswick Road, Bainton Cliff Lane, Bempton Hatkill Lane, Bishop Wilton Sands Lane, Boynton Bempton Crescent, Bridlington Bempton Drive, Bridlington Bempton Gardens, Bridlington Martongate, Bridlington Prospect Street, Bridlington Quay Road, Bridlington Scarborough Road, Bridlington Wheatley Drive, Bridlington Woldgate, Bridlington Wansford Road, Driffield Hatkill Lane, Full Sutton Eastburn Road, Kirkburn Kirkburn Road, Kirkburn Front Street, Middleton on the Wolds Town Street, Nunburnholme Jewison Lane, Sewerby Ricklepits, Skerne Dolegate, Skirpenbeck Main Street, Skirpenbeck Duggleby Road, Sledmere Moor Road, Stamford Bridge Driffield Road, Wansford
