THERE are set to be a number of new traffic restrictions in place around York over the coming weeks.

The cycle/pedestrian route (Post Office Lane) between Leeman Rd and the Riverside path adjacent to the sorting office is due to close overnight only 8:00pm to 8:00am to allow landscaping works to be undertaken safely on the embankment adjacent to the ramp/path to Scarborough Bridge.

The closure affects the section of lane between the Scarborough Bridge ramp and Leeman Rd only so access across Scarborough Bridge between the station and the riverside paths will still be possible. Pedestrians/cyclists who need to use the closed section of Post Office Lane overnight will be diverted via the Esplanade. The overnight closures have been put in place for two weeks.

There will also be restrictions in Piccadilly from Sunday January 17 to Sunday January 24 to allow for crane removal works to be carried out.

Remember to consider these restrictions when making essential travel around these areas of the city during the lockdown.
