Night-time road closures near the completion of Willerby Roundabout improvements
Willerby roundabout
A week of night-time road closures are to take place as part of the final improvement works to Willerby Roundabout.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council is nearing the completion of the £1.9m Willerby Roundabout Improvement Scheme with the aim of easing congestion at the A164/B1332 roundabout.
The project is due to finish this month. As part of the final works, a six-night closure is needed to allow a full resurfacing of its road to be carried out.
The roundabout will be closed overnight only from Monday 15 to Saturday 20 April between 8pm and 6am. The roundabout will reopen in the daytime.
Diversion routes will be in place. Northbound on the A164, the diversion is via A1034 South Cave or A1165 Boothferry Road, southbound on the A164 the diversion is via B1233 Harland Way.
The new traffic signals are planned to be commissioned and programmed on Wednesday, 24 April - this may lead to further delays during this process.

New initiative help coach parking in Hornsea
Hornsea beach
Following a significant increase in visitors arriving by bus and coach in Hornsea in recent years, East Riding of Yorkshire Council has announced a new collaboration with Hornsea Freeport, aimed at improving parking.
A section of the large parking facility at Hornsea Freeport has now been allocated for buses and coaches. The Freeport is conveniently located just 1.5 miles from Hornsea town centre, and has restroom facilities available for drivers' convenience. New signage will guide coach drivers to the Freeport.
In addition, the council is to implement an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order, which will designate one of the five bus/coach parking bays in Hornsea itself on Parva Road as a drop-off bay, allowing drivers to unload and pick up passengers safely before they go to park in the Freeport parking area. Coaches will be able to remain in the space for up to 20 minutes.
