Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 17:02 · Archive

The Monks Cross roundabout in York is set to reopen on 6 November following highway improvements.

The Monks Cross roundabout in York, close to a popular shopping park, is set to fully reopen on 6 November following the completion of highway improvements. The northern roundabout will reopen and two-way access will be restored on Monks Cross Link. The project, delivered by Redrow Yorkshire, included installing new water, electricity and telecommunications connections, as well as a new sub-station.

A Redrow Yorkshire spokesperson said the works had caused disruption for local residents, businesses and road users, and thanked everyone for their patience. The improvements, they added, deliver important infrastructure for the area, supporting new homes, future growth and improved connectivity.

The final phase involves fully surfacing carriageways and completing road markings. The reopening marks the end of the main highway programme and the lifting of traffic restrictions. Minor works will continue off the carriageway, including street lighting and landscaping, but these will not require further road closures or traffic restrictions.

City of York Council has worked alongside Redrow throughout the project to minimise disruption.
