Sands Lane Closed in Ellerker

Motorists in East Yorkshire are advised to plan ahead as a section of Sands Lane in Ellerker is set to be closed due to ongoing roadworks. The disruption will come into effect on August 12, 2026, at 11pm and will remain in place until August 25, 2026, at 11pm. The closure is necessary to facilitate the removal of skips and other related works.

The affected stretch of Sands Lane is located near the town of Hull, and drivers are being warned of the potential for significant delays during this six-day period. East Riding of Yorkshire Council, the authority responsible for this work, has announced the necessary measures in order to ensure the safety of all road users while the work is carried out. Motorists are advised to check traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on the status of Sands Lane, as this will be subject to change.

For drivers who rely on Sands Lane, there are alternative routes that can be taken to avoid the disruption. One option is to use nearby roads, which may add a few minutes to journey times but will help to avoid the congestion that is likely to occur. Another option is to plan ahead and adjust travel schedules to avoid the road entirely during peak hours. It is also advisable to keep an eye on traffic updates and follow social media accounts from East Riding of Yorkshire Council for the latest information on the roadworks.

While the planned closure is expected to cause some inconvenience, the council has stated that the work is necessary to ensure the road remains safe and accessible for all users. The removal of skips and other related works will help to prevent any potential hazards from arising in the future. Motorists are asked to exercise patience and understanding during this time, and to consider the long-term benefits that this work will bring to the area.

Residents in the area are also being advised to be aware of the potential noise and disruption associated with the roadworks. While the council has taken steps to minimise the impact of the work, some disturbance is likely to be unavoidable.
