Drivers in and around North Yorkshire will have five National Highways road closures to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that most of them of them are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

There is only one closure that is expected to case delays of between 10 minutes and half an hour. 

The latest expected works list, with notes from National Highways, shows that two closures already in place are expected to carry on this week:

  • A64, from 8.30am February 1 to 3.30pm February 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, Hopgrove to Musham Bank, Stop and go for general cleaning and maintenance works.
  • A64, from 9.30am February 1 to 3.30pm February 29, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, Hopgrove to Seamer, mobile lane closure for general cleaning and maintenance works.
  • A66, from 8pm February 5 to 5pm March 29, moderate delays (10-30 minutes): A66 eastbound and westbound, Blackwell, traffic signals for construction works to renew driveways.

And a further two closures will begin over the next two weeks:

  • A64, from 8pm March 4 to 6am March 9, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, East Knapton to West Heslerton, traffic signals for construction improvement/upgrade.
  • A64, from 9pm March 4 to 5am March 5, slight delays (under 10 minutes): A64 eastbound and westbound, Hopgrove, traffic signals for carriageway repairs.

National Highways is responsible for maintaining motorways and major A-roads, so closures of smaller roads will not be included in their schedule.
