We’re upgrading the parapets and safety barriers, as well as replacing signage at the bridge which carries the A64 over the River Wharfe near Tadcaster.

During the installation of the new parapets, our team found unexpected issues with the concrete underneath, and this has prevented us from installing the parapet as normal.

Because of this, we’ve had to delay our works to undertake surveys to determine the condition of the concrete and confirm what additional repairs are needed for a suitable solution.

These checks have taken time and are required before we can safely continue.

This is why you may have noticed periods of inactivity whilst we await the results from the surveys.

We've however confirmed a solution which is now being designed prior to remobilisation to site. 

We appreciate your patience while we work through these essential steps.

Please be assured we’re moving quickly get back to site and complete the works reducing the customer impact along the A64.

Further updates will be provided.

We’re continuing to carry out essential safety upgrades to the bridge carrying the A64 over the River Wharfe near Tadcaster which previously started in April 2026.

However we encountered issues on site in July, which have taken time to survey and find a solution, and this is why you may have noticed a period of inactivity.

A solution has been prepared, and we are going back to site to finish the project. 

Closures

6 November to 1 December - A64 eastbound at Tadcaster

Closed overnight (8pm-6am), Sunday to Friday.

1 to 18 December - A64 eastbound at Tadcaster

A64 closure and diversion route

There has been a temporary 50 MPH speed restriction and narrow lanes in place for safety reasons, this will be maintained until the work is complete.

To protect drivers and the workforce, we will need overnight closures between A659 exit and entry slips, where the route meets the A64 either side of Tadcaster. 

We appreciate this may lead to more traffic through Tadcaster during the overnight diversions and apologise for any disturbance or inconvenience.

Please allow more time for your journey if you’re planning to travel in this area.

The bridge carrying the A640 New Hey Road over the M62 near junction 22 (Outlane) is in single-lane running.

Due to corrosion, we can't open two lanes to traffic on the bridge.

We're monitoring the bridge to ensure there are no critical signs of potential structural failure.

We'll need this traffic management until we can repair or strengthen the bridge.  This is likely to be 2027 at the earliest.

In future, we may need to enforce weight restrictions to keep the bridge safe to use.

We'll share more details when they'e confirmed.

We're renewing barriers and streetlights on the A66 between Elton and Yarm to improve safety and energy efficiency.

We've now completed a detailed structural assessment of M18 Greenland Lane bridge, between junctions 6 (Waterside) and 7 (Langham).

The findings confirm that:

• the bridge must remain closed to motorised vehicles
• repairing the existing bridge deck is unfortunately not a viable option.

The bridge remains safe for pedestrians, cyclists and equestrians, and the results of the assessment reinforce that the precautionary closure introduced in May 2024 was necessary to protect public safety after complex defects were identified.

What happens next

We're assessing the most suitable long term solution for reinstating a motorway crossing at Greenland Lane.

This could include one of the following options:

• Replacement of the bridge deck on the existing supports
• Replacement of the bridge entirely

Before any demolition can take place, the water and power utilities currently running through the bridge deck need to be diverted.

This diversion work, which will take place beneath the M18, is scheduled for financial year 2026/27. We continue to work closely with affected landowners and utility providers.

The main construction phase to replace the bridge deck or full structure is programmed to begin in financial year 2028/29.

This will allow enough time for the detailed design, approvals and statutory processes required for a project of this scale.

We understand that this closure is causing concern to those who use the bridge and we’ll continue to work with the local authority to ensure minimal disruption is caused.

Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to resolve the issues to reinstate the motorway crossing at Greenland Lane as soon as possible.

Diversion routes

During the closure, traffic is being diverted via:

• Greenland Lane
• Johnny Moor
• Long Lane
• Moorends Road
• North Common Road
• Selby Road and Thorne Road

Diversion route for M18 Greenland Lane Bridge closure

We’re replacing 14 VMS signs on entry slips across the M18 and M180 in South Yorkshire with new, up to date versions.
