A lane at a busy York junction is to close for five weeks as part of the works to improve the approach to the station.

From next Monday (20 January) the left-hand lane on the Queen Street approach to the Micklegate and Blossom Street Junction will be closed. 

The footway on the city walls side of Queen Street will be closed too with pedestrians being directed to use the footway on the other side.

The work, part of the York Station Gateway project, involves improving the footpaths and kerbs.

It follows the removal of much of what was Queen Street Bridge in November.

Despite the lane closure, there will still be two-way traffic, but residents and commuters are asked to plan ahead as it will cause disruption.

Councillor Kate Ravilious, executive member for transport, said: “These latest works will help us to make the paths near to this junction better and more accessible.

“It’s all part of the works to improve the area for everyone, no matter how they are getting to the station.

“We apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused. Local businesses remain open for business throughout these works, which have been planned for what is traditionally a quieter period for the city to try and minimise disruption.

“However we know how busy this junction can be so would ask people to plan ahead and where possible use sustainable transport to help keep York moving.”
