Hull City Council is preparing to begin an essential carriageway resurfacing scheme on Saltshouse Road next week.
As part of the council’s commitment to improving and futureproofing the city’s road network, the Highways Capital Programme will fund an essential resurfacing scheme on Saltshouse Road, from the junction of Robson Way/Saltshouse Road to High Tree Mount, near Church Street.
The intention of the scheme is to renew the deteriorated areas of the carriageway, to ensure the highway provides a safe, even, and skid-resistant surface for all road users.
The work will start on Monday 7 October and is planned to take one week to complete – weather permitting.
To allow this work to be done safely, it will be completed under a road closure.
Access for residents and businesses will be maintained, with signed diversion routes in place via Collage Street, Church Street, and Robson Way depending on the direction of travel.
The pedestrian footways will remain open, and bin collections are scheduled to continue as normal.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transportation, roads and highways, said: “The council has identified that this section of Saltshouse Road needs repairing, so I am pleased that it is being addressed promptly.
“This work is essential, because not only does it help keep the road safe and reliable for all users, but it contributes towards our commitment to futureproofing Hull’s road network.
“We urge motorists to take note of the diversion route, plan their journeys in advance, and use an alternative mode of transport if possible.
“I would also like to apologise in advance for any disruptions these works may cause, particularly to businesses and residents of Saltshouse Road.”
The scheme will be carried out by PBS Constuction Limited on behalf of the council.
