Upcoming and existing traffic management

To ensure the safe and timely completion of our preparatory works, we will need to put some traffic management measures in place around the areas we are working in. You can also view upcoming and existing traffic management on our interactive map.

Early notice: Overton Road, Overton

In some areas, we've completed parts of the Yorkshire GREEN project and we are now restoring the land and returning sites to their previous condition. This includes areas around some pylons and sections of overhead line where work has now finished.

To carry out this work safely and efficiently, our team will need to close a section of Overton Road during daytime working hours for approximately three weeks while this work takes place.

At this stage, we anticipate that the road closure will be in place during October 2026.

Before the work begins, we will place signage along Overton Road and nearby roads so that residents and road users are aware of the planned closure. Diversion routes will also be clearly signed throughout the works, and we will circulate a copy of the diversion map in due course.

We understand that access to Overton can be challenging due to vehicle size restrictions. If large lorries or farm vehicles need to travel along Overton Road during the closure, arrangements can be made in advance through the Community Liaison Team, via the contact details at the end of this email.

We will be in touch with the local community via letter or postcard closer to the time of the closure with more details and information.
 

Overnight road closures: Junction 42 (Selby Fork Interchange) A1(M) and A63

We need to carry out essential work on overhead lines near Junction 42 of the A1(M) (also known as the Selby Fork Interchange) and the A63. To keep our workforce, road users and local communities safe while this work takes place, we will need to close parts of the road network. They will take place overnight to minimise disruption.

The closures will be in place, between 7pm and 6am on: 

• Saturday 22 August 2026 

• Saturday 5 September 2026 

The closures will include: 

• A full closure of Junction 42 for southbound traffic on the A1(M). Drivers will not be able to leave or join the A1(M) southbound at Junction 42 

• A partial closure for northbound traffic approaching Junction 42 from the A1. Vehicles will only be able to turn left onto the A63 

• A closure of the A63 between Junction 42 A1(M) and the A162 Monk Fryston roundabout. Strictly access only. Vehicles needing access will need to travel from the Monk Fryston roundabout side of the closure.

Please be aware that the dates and times of these closures are subject to change.
