'Milestones' in progress on A63 upgrade scheme

WORK ON TRACK FOR SPRING COMPLETION

- By MARK PAGE

"'MILESTONE moments' have now been reached on the A63 Castle Street project in Hull with work now moving on that will see the new underpass 'evolve over the next few months'.

Progress is becoming "increasingly visible" on the £355m scheme with work still on track to be completed by spring 2026, just over six years after it began.

National Highways says the project will "improve port access, reduce congestion and enhance safety as well as connections between the city centre and tourist and recreational facilities".

A key part of the scheme is the creation of a new junction involving lowering the level of the A63 at Mytongate to create an underpass with Ferensway and Commercial Road crossing the dual carriageway with a split-level junction.
