A19 update 👇
I recently met with National Highways for an update on safety improvements to the A19. In August 2023, safety improvements were completed to each of the central reserve gaps on the A19 between Tontine and Black Swan Overbridge, which included the permanent closure of 5 gaps. This scheme will help to improve safety on the A19 in one of the busiest sections in North Yorkshire.
I'm also pleased to inform constituents about funding to deliver safety improvements to each of the central reserve gaps on the A19 between Knayton and Ellerbeck, with work to start in September 2024. This work will see a range of improvements delivered at each gap including central reserve barrier improvements, new signing and clearer road markings, as well as looking to permanently close some of the gaps that are rarely used by customers - I am assured this will be subject to a public consultation.
I will continue to engage with National Highways on this.
