Two major road schemes in North Yorkshire - including upgrades to the A64 between York and Malton and dualling of the A1(M) at the A66 junction - could start by 2025
Councillors were told a Department for Transport update had confirmed that, subject to final approval, a public consultation exercise on the route options between Hopgrove and Barton Hill would be completed by September.
As councillors representing many villages near the A64 which become rat-runs when the trunk road becomes congested called for more pressure to be exerted on the government, officers said they expected a preferred route to be confirmed by April next year. The meeting was told the authority was continuing to apply pressure to National Highways to progress the A64 scheme and that planned developments in the southern Ryedale and York area only strengthened the case for dualling the road.
He said National Highways were putting a lot of resources into finalising details, particularly for the A64.
