Work to replace drainage gullies between East Knapton and West Heslerton, which started at the end of September, is now complete.

The improvements have now entered their second phase and involves the resurfacing of both carriageways.

A full closure will be in place from 8pm on Friday to 6am on Monday this weekend and work will continue, if required, from November 18 to 21.
