Further works on the A64 between Malton and Scarborough are due to take place over the next couple of months.
Highways England says the A64 will continue to see further enhancements and safety improvements this year.
An extensive programme of upgrades started last year.
Simon Brown from Highways England says those works are set to continue.
In a report delivered to county councillors last week Highways England said they had completed a number of improvement schemes to the road in the last year including
- Brambling Fields resurfacing – resurfacing of the carriageway at the eastern end of the Malton bypass
- East Heslerton carriageway reconstruction – substantial reconstruction of the carriageway surface between West and East Heslerton. Completed under two weekend closures of the A64.
- A64 Seamer Station bridge beam repair – repairs to bridge beam damaged when it was struck by a vehicle.
- Sherburn Village drainage renewal – comprehensive renewal and improvement of the drainage around the Sherburn crossroads to remove a long standing drainage problem.
- Jinnah Restaurant non motorised user (NMU) Improvement – improvement to NMU facilities around the Jinnah Restaurant, including new bus layby and pedestrian refuge.
- Knapton Junctions Improvements – safety improvement to a number of junctions around Knapton, with new islands, right turn lanes and improvement junction alignments.
- Sherburn Crossroads NMU Improvements – improvements to the traffic signals to provide additional pedestrian phases on the two side roads.
- Askham Bryan Loop Safety Improvement – safety improvement to alter the layout of the slip road with banned right turn into side road and improved signing.
- Whitwell Duals vehicle restraint system (VRS) Improvement - installation of new verge safety barriers to reduce the severity of loss of control incidents between Barton Hill and Welburn.
- Welburn and Crambeck safety improvement – safety improvement aimed at improving the facilities for pedestrians with new refuge islands and improved bus laybys, and improvements to the right turn lanes.
The organisation says the programme of works is continuing with a number of schemes due to be completed this financial year including.
- Sherburn to Ganton carriageway reconstruction – substantial reconstruction of sections of the A64 between Sherburn and Ganton. Will require overnight closures and 1 full weekend closure. (Feb/March)
- Ganton to Staxton pavement patching – patching of the carriageway between Ganton and Staxton. (March)
- Sherburn to Ganton drainage renewal phase 2 – ongoing renewal of the drainage to the east of Sherburn, due to complete in March.
- Route wide road stud renewal at various locations – renewal of road studs in a number of locations in March.
- A64 Village Gateways – safety improvement introducing/extending speed limits through a number of villages between Welburn and Staxton, with a standardised sign layout for each location. Works at Crambeck to Malton, Rillington, West and East Heslerton, Sherburn, Potter Brompton, Ganton and Staxton.
Seamer and Derwent County Councillor David Jeffels welcomed the safety improvements but says it's also important that Highways England don't lose sight of the bigger picture.
