Yorkshire and North East - Maintenance schemes

Work

We’re resurfacing the A1 north and southbound between Wansbeck and Warreners. The scheme includes:

• studs
• road markings
• and two sets of traffic loops

It’s scheduled to start on 29 September 2025 and is expected to take place until 16 January 2026. 

In order to keep disruption to a minimum, we’re carrying this work out overnight when traffic levels are lowest. 

This scheme will be carried out under overnight closures, six nights a week (8pm-6am), Sunday – Friday. The route will remain open on Saturday nights.

Closures

The closures will be implemented in phases:

29 September to 18 October

Phase 1 - Seaton Burn to St Leonard’s northbound 

9 October to Wednesday 12 November

Phase 2 - St Leonard’s to Hebron northbound 

13 October to 9 December 

Phase 3 - Hebron to St Leonard’s southbound  

10 December to 19 December 

Phase 4 - southbound - St Leonard’s to Seaton Burn 

7 January to 14 January 2026

Phase 5 - St Leonard’s Dumb Bells  

Diversions

Phase 1 diversion:

• motorists will be diverted off the A1 junction 80 at Seaton Burn along the A19
• then onto the A189 northbound and A197 Morpeth Northern Bypass
• to rejoin the A1 at St Leonards Interchange

For the southbound works (phase 4), motorists will follow the route in reverse.

Phases 2 and 3 diversion:

• northbound motorists will leave the A1 at St Leonards Interchange
• to follow the A197 eastbound, B1337 and C130 to Hebron Interchange

Southbound motorists will follow the route in reverse.

Phase 4 diversion:

• motorists will follow the phase 1 diversion route in reverse.

Within each phase of the programme, for drivers’ safety we will also have a 50mph speed restriction in place, 24 hours a day.

Please note, this work is weather dependent. In poor conditions it may need to be rescheduled. We will share updates as they are confirmed.

If you’re planning to travel during these closures, please plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey.

We apologise for any disruption while we carry out these works. 

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

Works

We'll need to carry out urgent repairs to a bridge joint on the A1 Darrington Flyover. This bridge carries the A1 over Valley Road and Estcourt Road.

We were unable to complete the work last weekend on the southbound carriageway due to heavy rain. We'll need to return on Sunday 21 December to complete this work.

The A1 southbound between Ferrybridge and Barnsdale Bar will therefore be closed overnight between 8pm and 6am.

While these repairs are unrelated to the recent scheme at the A1 Wentbridge Viaduct and Wentedge Road Bridge, we sincerely apologise for having to close the route overnight so soon after the completion of those works.

Diversions will be fully signed. We strongly advise motorists to stay on the motorway network where possible using the M62 and M18 for both northbound and southbound journeys. We strongly advise drivers to use the signed diversions and not to rely on sat-navs.

We'll maintain access to properties directly affected by the closures.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England site. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

Work

We’re doing important safety improvements to the A616 junction with the A629 near Wortley, South Yorkshire. 

This work is part of our ongoing commitment to reduce the number of people harmed on our roads.

To improve safety, we’re installing new traffic signs, road markings and cutting back overgrown vegetation. 

These changes will help minimise confusion and incidents of wrong way driving and reduce the risk of future collisions at this junction. 

Closures and diversions

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We’re resurfacing a section of the A63 westbound between Daltry Street and Brighton Street, adjacent to the Castle Street project in Hull city centre.

We’ll be carrying out this work overnight, every weeknight (8pm-6am), as follows:

8-12 December and 15-19 December

Please note, the overnight closure for 10 December will be delayed until 11pm due to the Hull City v Wrexham match at MKM stadium.

This will mean, in addition to the planned overnight closures for Daltry Street – Roger Millward Way in both directions, the Daltry Street westbound entry slip will also be closed.

Local traffic will be diverted to Brighton Street along Hessle Road.

We’ve planned these works to take place alongside the current Castle Street closures to minimise disruption. 

In the New Year we will return to resurface eastbound carriageway, with dates to be confirmed.

Please allow additional time for your journey during these times.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

We’re resurfacing and refreshing road markings and studs on these slip roads:

• Old Malton interchange/A169 eastbound exit

We've agreed diversion routes with local authorities. They need to be suitable for all types of vehicles, including HGVs. 

Some of our work may be noisy. We've done all we can to keep any disturbance to a minimum. 

These works are weather dependent. We may need to rescheduled if weather's bad.

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.

The bridge carrying the A640 New Hey Road over the M62 near junction 22 (Outlane) remains in single-lane running. This is due to significant corrosion, which means that the bridge is unable to safely open to two lanes of traffic.

We're still monitoring the structure every three months to ensure there are no critical signs of potential structural failure. We can continue to maintain single lane running to normal traffic, however, the traffic management will need to stay in place until a permanent solution for the structure is implemented, which is likely to be 2027 at the earliest. In the future, we may need to enforce a further weight restriction to keep the bridge safe to use.

We’re now looking into longer-term options. These include further localised strengthening works to maintain a weight limit of 44 tonnes ahead of a permanent replacement of the entire bridge.

We will share further updates, including any changes to weight restrictions, timescales for further works and any plans for replacement of the structure, as they are confirmed.

We’ll work Monday to Friday from 8pm to 6am. We may need to use weekends if we’re unable to work during the week.

We'll use a 24/7 40mph speed limit to protect road users while the barrier is incomplete. This speed limit will be enforced by average speed cameras.

Whilst working, we'll close one side of the A66 and have lane closures in place on the other carriageway. This allows us to work safely at multiple locations, cutting the time we need on site. 

Most closures will be between Long Newton and Elton though we may sometimes need to extend them.

Work

We’re:

• Refurbishing joints on the M1 (upper deck) and A631 (lower deck) at Tinsley Viaduct
• Replacing existing 50mph repeater signs with roundels and road markings on the A631.

Bridge joints allow the bridge to naturally contract and expand in differing weather conditions and with movement from traffic.

This work will take place in phases around every six weeks. During each refurbishment period, we'll remove a small number of joints for the treatment, which will include giving them a protective coating and cleaning them before replacing them. 

These are routine refurbishments to ensure the joints’ continued safety and longevity.

This work will reduce future disruption by minimising the risk of later joint defects and the need for short-term repairs.

This work is scheduled to continue until summer 2026.

Closures

We’ll be carrying out this work under overnight closures (9pm-6am) on the M1 upper deck and the A631 between Meadowhall Roundabout and Tinsley Roundabout. 

Closures will alternate between the M1 top deck and A631 lower deck:

10-14 November

14 November

A631 southbound lower deck (two nights) - please note, this has been updated from a previously scheduled northbound closure

26 November 2025

Due to Storm Claudia and the wet and windy weather in the region on 14 November, we unfortunately had to reschedule the planned work on the A631 southbound lower deck.

We'll return to complete on the night of 26 November.

5-6 January

A631 northbound lower deck (two nights)

7-9 January

M1 northbound upper deck (two nights)

The bridge carrying Greenland Lane over the M18, between junctions 6 (Waterside) and 7 (Langham), remains closed to motorised vehicles and is unfortunately not expected to be able to reopen for at least two years. 

This is due to complex structural defects which mean we need to close it to motorised traffic for everyone’s safety until 2027 at the very earliest. The bridge is still safe for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians to use. 

We’re progressing a detailed structural assessment to establish its load capacity and enable us to find out the next steps we need to take, which could include one of the following options:

• Repair the structure
• Prop the structure to allow it to remain open
• Demolish and replace the bridge with a new one entirely 

We'll establish a course of action and share updates as soon as they are available. 

We understand that this closure is causing disruption to regular road users in the area, especially with other roadworks taking place within the area. We liaise with the local authority regularly to ensure as little disruption caused as possible. Please be assured, we're doing everything we can to resolve the issues and either safely reopen or replace the bridge as soon as we're able to.

Diversion routes

During the closure, traffic is being diverted via Greenland Lane, Johnny Moor Long Lane, Moorends Road, North Common Road, Selby Road and Thorne Road.

Works

From 9 September we’re replacing the cabling to the navigation lights on the M62 Ouse Bridge between junctions 36 (Goole) and 37 (Howden).

These are routine maintenance works and are not connected to the earlier programme of joint repairs on the bridge.

We’ve carried out preliminary works on Hook Lane, which runs alongside the River Ouse underneath the bridge; however, to complete the works, it will be necessary to establish hard shoulder and lane closures.

These closures will consist of a mixture of daytime (9am – 3.30pm) and overnight (8pm-6am) single lane closures on both the east and westbound carriageways.

These will be carried out on various dates, on weekdays between 9 September and January 2026. We will share precise dates as they are confirmed.

Work

We’re improving journeys in West Yorkshire by carrying out essential resurfacing on a stretch of the M62 westbound.

The work will be carried out on the westbound carriageway between junctions 25 (Clifton) and 23 (Outlane), as well as on the westbound exit and entry slips at junction 24 (Ainley Top). 

We’re also renewing six bridge joints, as well as more than 100 marker posts and a number of driver location signs. These are roadside markers that help drivers and emergency services identify an exact location.

Closures

For the safety of drivers and the workforce, we’ll need full overnight weeknight closures (8pm – 6am) on the M62 westbound:

We've  had to postpone some of our overnight works due to recent weather, and to avoid conflicts with other roadworks in the area.

Closures

We may need lane closures to safely access some bridges.

We may also need to temporarily close footpaths.

We'll try to minimise disruption by phasing works and giving advance notice wherever possible. 

Please remember that closures can change at short notice. You can check the latest information on our daily closures page or find live travel information on our Traffic England. Our travel alerts give details of live incidents on our network.
