Cawood bridge works
There are traffic restrictions at Cawood Bridge until mid September, and the bridge is scheduled to be closed completely from 24th July to 2nd September.
Traffic restrictions until 24th July, and from 2nd September consist of 6 way temporary lights, with a single lane open across the bridge. From 24th July until 2nd September the bridge will be closed completely to vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. (This work has been scheduled for the summer holidays to minimise impact on local families).
The 42x Cawood bus services will be diverted via Selby and non-stop along the A19 during the closure running to a revised timetable.
The work is for the installation of the 132 steel plates to strengthen the bridge to permit a 10 tonne weight limit and erection of scaffolding for use in painting the bridge.
