A ROAD will be closed near Selby tonight to allow workmen time to carry out road repairs.

A movement joint close to the A19/A645 roundabout has started to fail and North Yorkshire County Council’s contractor will be carrying out a permanent repair this weekend.

This will involve the closure of the A645 tonight (sat) from 7pm to 7am.

A short diversion route will be signposted.

The authority decided against placing four sets of traffic lights at the roundabout.
