Motorists in York are being advised of upcoming roadworks on Union Terrace, which will be in place from 10 August 2026 at 07:00 to 14 August 2026 at 17:00. The roadworks, located on Union Terrace in the heart of York, are being carried out by the City of York Council as part of their standard maintenance programme. The works are expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area, and drivers are being warned to plan their journeys accordingly.

The City of York Council has announced that the roadworks are necessary to maintain the condition of the road and ensure the safety of all users. While the works are taking place, drivers are advised to use alternative routes to avoid delays. Those travelling to and from the city centre may want to consider using other routes, such as the outer ring road, to bypass the affected area. It is also a good idea to check traffic apps and websites for up-to-date information on traffic conditions before setting out on your journey.

The roadworks are expected to be in place for five days, so it is essential to plan ahead and allow extra time for your journey. The City of York Council is working to minimise disruptions as much as possible, but some delays are inevitable.
