15 pix: Major work underway on closed York road

Work is well underway on Queen Street in York, which is closed for most of the Bank Holiday weekend.

The street, which runs from the junction with Blossom Street past York Station, is being dug up and relaid to form the new road layouts.

It’s the latest phase of the Station Gateway project to remodel the approach and create new public spaces.

The road closed at 7pm yesterday (Saturday) and reopens at 6am on Tuesday (27 May).

So far, drivers appear to have heeded early warnings from City of York Council about the works and the traffic isn’t any heavier than for a normal Bank Holiday weekend.

A diversion for pedestrians has been created to the side of the works – although when YorkMix visited, the signs were causing some confusion for people trying to get through.

The station is open as usual, while a number of bus routes are diverted.

There are also free shuttle buses running between Blossom Street and the station during the closure.

The scheme is being delivered by City of York Council, Network Rail, LNER and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority alongside delivery contractor for the highways works of the project, John Sisk & Son.

The council has more details about the Station Gateway project on its website.

There are questions about the completion of the scheme, due to an £18 million funding shortfall.

But City of York Council leaders say they are committed to finishing the project.
