Councillors Press for Update on A64 Dualling

Tuesday, 31 May 2022 06:00

By Matthew Pells

North Yorkshire County Council says it wants to meet with National Highways as soon as possible to get an update on dualling the A64

Plans to upgrade a stretch between York and Barton le Willows have been put forward but not yet approved.

The council's new Executive member for highways is Councillor Keane Duncan, he wants to hear what progress is being made.

Councillor Caroline Goodrick says more information is needed about what's going on.

National Highways have been working on a proposal to Dual a stretch of the road between Hopgrove at York and Barton le Willows. A public consultation on the plans took place in October and November.

However any decision to proceed with the improvements would be made by the government.

On their website National Highways say:

"We’re developing plans to improve the A64 around the Hopgrove junction to Barton-le-Willows, to tackle problems with the current route and to make sure it’s fit for the future.

This scheme is one of over 30 that we’re considering around the country, as part of a steady and flexible pipeline of schemes. These pipeline schemes were announced in our 2020-25 Delivery Plan. We’ll be considering these for potential construction beyond 2025, but currently there’s no commitment from government to develop this scheme beyond the current stage."
