One way traffic restrictions will be put in place on Coppergate, located in the city centre of York, for up to 8 weeks from this Sunday (1 September).
This is to allow the owner of a privately owned property to carry out maintenance works on their building.
These works require scaffolding and due to the narrow width of footpath and carriageway in that location, City of York Council is required to put a one way traffic system in place for the duration of the works.
From Sunday 1 September vehicles (with the exception of cyclists) will only be able to travel on Coppergate one way westbound with diversions for eastbound traffic via Tower Street and Piccadilly.
There will be a lane set out for cyclists at the Piccadilly end of Coppergate at the signals.
All eastbound bus routes which normally use Coppergate will divert via Clifford Street, Tower Street and Piccadilly.
Delays are expected at peak times, so please allow extra time for your journey.
The restrictions have been planned to be put in place for up to 8 weeks, although the works are likely to be removed earlier if the works are completed.
