This week’s round-up includes road closures linked to Hull Fair
They are frustrating for motorists, but necessary to keep our roads up to scratch and traffic flowing freely once the work is done. There are roadworks ongoing in and around the city, some of them which are long-term projects.
Here is your list of all the ongoing and upcoming roadworks in the area, as announced by Hull City Council. They include the two-month closure of Drypool Bridge and closures linked to Hull Fair.
