DRIVERS who normally use the A64 westbound after 8pm will have to follow an alternative route tonight.

The road between Askham Bryan to Bilborough Road will be closed from 8pm to 6am on Friday to allow workers to re-surface the road.

Drivers will be diverted off the dual carriageway and taken around the site via the A1237.

Motorists have been hit by delays since Monday, but today is scheduled to be the final day of work.
