Speed restrictions on A63 to be lifted

A temporary speed limit on the A63 is expected be lifted as early as Thursday.

The 40mph restriction has been in place between South Cave and North Ferriby since July 2024.

National Highways, which manages the road, said work to renew safety barriers was due to be completed by the end of this week.

A spokesperson for the agency said it was yet to decide whether the 40mph limit would be lifted on both carriageways at once, or whether the changes would be implemented in stages within the next fortnight.

Work to replace lighting was continuing, with testing due to take place in the coming weeks, the spokesperson added.

Crews were aiming to complete the work and be off site by Friday 9 May.

According to National Highways, a number of overnight closures have been planned on the eastbound carriageway, on 7 and 21 April and 5 May.

Further overnight closures have also been planned for the westbound carriageway on 28 April.
