Full closures and temporary traffic signals will be used during improvement works to busy routes in Hull in the coming weeks. The council says the project will deliver “vital carriageway repairs” to Endike Lane, as well as the roundabout connecting Hall Road and Cottingham Road to “ensure they remain safe and reliable for all users”.
The first phase will begin this Monday (January 12) on Endike Lane, continuing until Friday, January 23. Carriageway resurfacing works are being carried out along with “improved anti-skid” surfacing and refreshed road markings between Keswick Gardens and Greenwood Avenue.
During this period and there will be two full road closures on Tuesday, January 13 and Friday, January 23. On the closure dates, a diversion route will be in place via Hall Road, Inglemire Lane, Hull Road and New Village Road, depending on the direction of travel. Outside of the road closure periods, a heavy-duty steel board will be used to protect the newly laid concrete while it hardens so traffic flow can continue.
The work to Cottingham Road and Hall Road roundabout will then begin on Monday, February 2 which is expected to be completed on Friday, February 13. This will be done in two phases, maintaining traffic flow between Hall Road and Fairfax Avenue with temporary signals.
Throughout the durations of these works, access to Hotham Road North and Cottingham Road on both sides of the roundabout will be closed.
Councillor Mark Ieronimo, portfolio holder for transport and infrastructure at Hull City Council, said: “This investment will make a real difference for residents who rely on Cottingham Road, Hall Road and Endike Lane every day. By resurfacing these busy routes and improving pedestrian facilities, we are tackling wear and tear before it becomes a bigger problem, reducing the risk of accidents and making journeys smoother and safer for everyone.
“We recognise that roadworks can be inconvenient, especially on key routes, but we have carefully planned these works to keep disruption to a minimum. We thank local residents and businesses in advance for their patience as we work to support daily travel, protect vulnerable road users and keep our city moving.”
Glenn Smurthwaite, managing director of Hull-based PBS Construction Limited which is delivering the project, said: “With being a local company and employer we are proud to carry out these high profile works in our own city and look forward to working in partnership with Hull City Council.”
