Highways agency cancels A63 closures

A series of planned overnight closures for the A63 in Hull have been cancelled.

National Highways, which is building a new junction in Castle Street, said it no longer needed to shut the road on 6, 9, 12 and 16 May, and between 19 and 23 May.

A westbound overnight lane closure planned for 30 May has been put back from 20:00 to 22:30 BST due to Super League match between Hull KR and Saint Helens at Craven Park.

Signed diversions will be in place via the A15, A164 and the A1079 and A1033.

Castle Street is undergoing a £355m redesign that involves lowering the level of the A63 to create an underpass at the Mytongate junction.

The work is due to be completed by spring 2026, a year later than planned.
