A City of York Council notice attached to the gates says that the Bar Walls are closed over that stretch for important conservation work to be carried out.
A council spokesperson said: "The closure is for routine conservation, and will remain in place until Friday (April 12)."
The medieval Bar Walls - a key attraction for tourists visiting York - are a scheduled ancient monument encircling the city, built mainly in the 13th century of magnesian limestone, and are the longest town walls in England, with two miles of surviving masonry.
