A63 North Ferriby to South Cave

Published: 19 July 2024

 The A63 in East Yorkshire is undergoing a series of safety upgrades, improving journeys for motorists for years to come.

National Highways is replacing the safety barrier and upgrading the lighting between South Cave and North Ferriby.

To enable this work to be carried out safely, overnight closures will be implemented on weeknights between 8pm and 6am from Monday (15 July).

Closures will take place, Monday to Friday, in these directions:

Week commencing 15 July: Westbound
W/C 22 July: Eastbound
W/C 29 July: Westbound
Then, for the following four weeks from 5 August, there will be weeknight closures on the eastbound carriageway.

The work is scheduled to carry on until Spring 2025, however this will not be happening continuously.  As the work moves forward, closures will alternate between the east and westbound carriageways as the upgrades are scheduled to accommodate events and other roadworks in the area. To further minimise disruption, the road will not be fully closed in both directions at the same time. However, there will be some further overnight lane closures.

During July, as the scheme progresses, a 40mph speed limit is due to be implemented on this section of the road, with average speed cameras to be installed. Signed diversions will also be in place.

From 12 August, the A63 Elloughton footbridge is also due to be resurfaced. National Highways will use the overnight closures on the A63 to carry out some of this work, however the work will require the closure of the pedestrian route over the bridge for two weeks. During this work, an alternative route for pedestrians will be signed.
