More A63 Castle Street closures announced as 'noisier' phase of work begins

Another two weeks of overnight closures have been announced as the next phase of work is carried out on the A63 Castle Street project, some of which will be "noisier".

Work will take place each night - excluding Saturday and Sunday evenings - from Monday, February 3 until Friday, February 14 from Daltry Street flyover to Market Place on the A63 main carriageway, as well as on the roads and pavements at Ferensway.

To allow the work to be carried out safely, overnight closures will be in place from 8pm until 6am the following day on these weeknights over the first two weeks of February.

A National Highways spokesperson said: "The fully-signed diversion will be in place via the A15, A164, A1079 and A1033 for eastbound traffic, and vice versa for westbound.

"Please note, on Thursday, February 6, due to work on the East Riding Jock’s Lodge scheme impacting the wider diversion, eastbound traffic will be required to follow city centre routes via Rawling Way (Daltry Street flyover).

"The equipment we use means that some disturbance is unavoidable, but we make every effort to minimise noise generated by the activity. Those working on site are briefed on working responsibly in the local community.

"Some noisier activity is required for this phase including planing the road and breaking out some of the central reserve areas, which cannot be done safely during the daytime when the road is open.

"We apologise for any disruption during this complex phase of the scheme.

"Please look out for further updates on our programme of overnight closures following this phase of work from Friday, February 14 onwards."

Work on the scheme, which started around five years ago, is set to continue until Spring 2026 after a year-long delay was announced by National Highways in December.

Last week, Hull City Council cabinet portfolio holder for roads and highways, Cllr Mark Ieronimo, said: "As a council, we're doing everything we can to help minimise the disruption caused by the year-long delay to the A63 works taking place."

He added: "We’ll continue to work with Highways and others to make sure this works get completed as fast as possible."
