I hadn’t realised your wife had passed away. Sorry to hear about your loss. My deepest condolences my friend
Finally... Work begins on major upgrade of A63 A major upgrade that will transform Hull’s transport network is now officially under way. Work has now begun to improve the A63 Castle Street, which will improve transport links between the Port of Hull to the A63 and M62 along with the wider strategic road network. The scheme will also help to reunite the city centre with its waterfront, supporting the city’s economic growth and improving journeys to the city centre and the port. Highways England chief executive Jim O’Sullivan said: “We are really pleased that we are now starting this long-awaited project. This major upgrade will greatly improve journeys into Hull and the port of Hull.”
Needed this 40 years ago. Get the bastard built quick before it gets delayed/put back again. Northern PowderBlouse still on track- just need railway electrifying now, and we'll only be 20 years behind the other northern cities, despite having a mobile spud vendor on Ferensway.
It sounds like good news, but I'd lost track of what they were actually going to do, so I looked it up. Planned finish in 2025, so potentially years of pain first. Knowing how regularly a lorry breaking down on Castle Street leads to rush-hour gridlock, it could be grim for a while if you chuck roadworks into the mix. Anyway, it sounds good long term:
It's got to be good long term - just taking that first roundabout after Castle Street Bridge out has made a huge difference, years too late but, better than never.
Cyclist / pedestrian footbridge near Porter St. So convenient for William Boothers with small bladders.
It does sound ambitious but there's plenty of labour around at the moment if that'll help. Its the sort of project the B of E's billions should be going into.
I think the main difference is the removal of all of the traffic lights, pelican crossings etc, replaced with bridges and filter lanes... that's what affects the flow at the moment.
Agreed, let's just leave the road in the ****ing **** tip mess it currently is. Jesus wept, you can't ****ing win...
