scheme to improve roads and paths on a main route through Withernsea will begin in October.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is to invest £481,000 to upgrade road and path surfaces on the A1033 Hollym Road and Queen Street in the town.
Around 2,000 tonnes of road material will be used in the project, which will be carried out in three phases from October to January, between the Tesco’s roundabout and The Willows Holiday Park.
Phase one
Work is due to start on the first phase on Monday 7 October and will involve improvements to the footpath, kerbing and surface drainage along the route.
It is set to last up to eight weeks and temporary traffic lights will be in place.
Phase two
Road resurfacing work is scheduled to be carried out on Hollym Road from Wednesday 4 December over five evenings, from 6pm to midnight, under a temporary road closure.
A signed diversion will be in place via the B1362 to Weghill Road, Preston C28 to Saltend Roundabout. Bus services will be diverted using Holmpton Road as an alternative route.
The road will be reopen after each evening, allowing for normal traffic during the day.
Phase three
Road resurfacing is due to be carried out on Queen Street and Hollym Road from Westfield Rise towards The Willows Holiday Park, from Thursday 12 until Friday 20 December.
The work will be carried out during the daytime under temporary traffic lights.
After Christmas, the work is due to resume from Monday 6 to Tuesday 21 January.
The scheme will be carried out by the council’s own road maintenance team.
Councillor Paul West, the council’s cabinet member for environment and transport, said: “Thanks to residents and drivers in advance for bearing with use while we carry out work in this area.
“Improving these roads and paths is essential to benefit the community.”
