THE A162 between Tadcaster and Sherburn-in-Elmet is set to shut on several occasions during the next few weeks to allow Network Rail to carry out bridge maintenance work near Barkston Ash.

North Yorkshire County Council said the closures were planned from 7.30pm to 5.30am from August 13 to August 16, and from August 20 to August 23, with a signposted diversion using the A63, A19 and A64. There would also be an extra one day closure during the week commencing September 10.
