YORK commuters were facing another rush-hour nightmare this evening as the A19 at Fulford remained shut because of flooding.
The major trunk road was closed last night after being inundated by floodwaters from the River Ouse, and motorists were diverted onto other routes into York this morning, leading to severe congestion on roads such as the A1079, A64 and Tadcaster Road.
A City of York Council spokesman said the A19 would remain shut until at least 8pm, as floodwaters were only receding very slowly, but the authority hoped it would be open again in good time for tomorrow morning's rush hour.
