The road will be closed to all traffic but local businesses will still be open and accessible on foot, and a diversion is in place. The work is weather dependent and in the event of an adverse weather forecast we will postpone and reschedule.
National Highways asks that road users to follow the diversion rather than Satnavs, to reduce the impact on rural communities.
A fully signed diversion, agreed in advance with the police and the local authority avoiding height, weight, and environmental restrictions, will be in place for A64 traffic via the A169, and A170, from Old Malton Roundabout to Staxton.
