A new road is now being constructed through York Station’s car park.
It will open to traffic on Monday morning (22 April).
From then until November, the road will act as the diversion route while the Queen Street Bridge is first demolished and then replaced as part of the Station Gateway scheme to transform the entrance to York Station.
The bridge will be closed:
- from 8pm this Friday (19 April) to 6am on Monday 22 April
- and again from 8pm on Friday 26 April to 6am on Monday 29 April.
City of York Council is asking everyone who can to leave their car at home during these weekends to avoid gridlock.
The new temporary road will run from the entrance of York Station car park and bend round to join the road next to the York Railway Institute.
Both the station and the institute will stay open throughout the work.
This weekend, work to ‘tie-in’ the new road to the existing road which runs parallel to Queen Street Bridge will be completed.
Next weekend, the bridge will be demolished.
This gallery shows where the new road will run. You can find out more about the work on the City of York Council website.
