Part of the A64 between Scarborough and Malton will be closed again this weekend as repair work continues.
Resurfacing work between the A169 Pickering turn off and West Heslerton will mean that for the second week in a row the A64 will be closed in both directions this weekend.
The road will be closed from 8pm on Friday to 6am on Monday with a signed diversion via the A169 and A170 through Pickering.
Parking prohibitions will be in place on High Street Snainton and Main Street East Ayton to allow free flow along diversion route.
The closure could potentially run to a third weekend next week depending on progress and weather conditions.
The full closure will be in place from 8pm on Fridays to 6am on Mondays on the weekends of 11 to 14 November and, if required, 18 to 21 November.
Eastbound traffic will be diverted onto the A169 at Malton, the A170 at Pickering and the B1261 to Staxton until re-joining the A64; the diversion for the westbound closure is the same route in reverse.
Bus operator Coastliner says that due to the works the 840 and 843 services won't be able to reach some of their usual stops this weekend.
Coastliner say:
"Due to road surfacing on the A64 East Knapton-West Heslerton, #Coastliner will not be able to reach the following stops:
- Scagglethorpe
- Rillington Fields
- Pine Tree Avenue
- Scampston
- West Knapton
- East Knapton
- West Heslerton
This is in place on the following days and times:
From Friday 11th to Monday 14th November, 9pm to 6am."
The work is part of a larger upgrade project to the A64.
Work to replace drainage gullies between East Knapton and West Heslerton, started at the end of September and is now complete, but from Friday night, the improvements enter their second phase, the resurfacing of both carriageways.
National Highways Project Manager Chris Dunn said:
“The first phase of work has gone well and we’d like to thank people for their patience while we carried out the improvements to the drainage system.
“We are now ready to start the resurfacing which includes repairs to the road foundation, removing several road layers in some areas which means deeper patches need time to cure. That’s why we need to close the road to carry it out. We advise people to allow extra time for their journeys and familiarise themselves with the diversion if necessary.”
