£490,000 Road Improvement Scheme Near Driffield Set To Start

Sunday, 12 October 2025 06:00

The near-half-million job starts at Little Kelk on Monday.

An essential scheme to improve the main road through the village of Little Kelk, near Driffield, is to begin in October. 

East Riding of Yorkshire Council is to invest £490,000 to upgrade the C22 road along Main Street, Little Kelk, between Gransmoor Lane and Moor Lane, starting on Monday 13 October. 

The work is a continuation of a scheme carried out in early 2024 which saw road improvements made in Little Kelk, Great Kelk and Foston on the Wolds. 

This new project is scheduled to take nine weeks to complete, working during the daytime.  

It will include the resurfacing of the road, strengthening the road edges, patching, improving surface water drainage and kerb replacements. 

Some sections of footpath in Little Kelk will also be resurfaced. 

During the scheme, the section of road being worked on will be closed to all through traffic, with a signed diversion route in place via Mill Lane, A614, Station Road, Moor Lane, Main Road, Gransmoor Road, A165 Lisset Lane, B1249 Main Street, Foston Lane and Old Howe Lane. 

Access to properties within the working areas will be maintained. 

The work 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:

“This is the second stage of essential road improvements for this rural area and we want to thank residents, businesses and drivers for their patience while we complete this work.”
