When almost 30 Hull streets will close for roadworks this month

Almost 30 Hull streets will temporarily close as a road improvement programme is carried out over the coming weeks.

The city-wide micro-surfacing scheme has begun and the work is due to be completed by Sunday, July 2, weather permitting. All the roads concerned are showing signs of deterioration, with potholes, cracks and dips, and micro-surfacing will remove these defects and seal up the road to improve the surface.

Road closure notices have been put up and letter drops will be carried out two weeks prior to the works starting on each site. The contractors will also be posting leaflets to inform residents.

Residents can visit One.network to find all road closure information. The letters will include contact details if residents have any questions or wish to discuss the work; the contractor will also be posting leaflets to inform residents.

Councillor Mark Ieronimo, the city council’s portfolio holder for highways and transport, said: “We apologise for the disruption these works may cause to some residents, but we strive to minimise disruption and keep residents informed as much as possible. Ward councillors have been championing these vital works, which will make our roads better and safer in the long term, benefitting all road users in the city.”

Works were due to take place in the past few days at Hyperion Street, Alma Street, Oxford Street and Gibraltar Road, with continuing works today (Tuesday, June 6) at 8th Avenue. More roads that are included as part of the programme, and the proposed dates for the works, are listed below and are subject to change:
