THE simple solution to A64 traffic disruption, once work starts after Christmas to complete the Copmanthorpe underpass, would be to build a temporary bridge over the working area to allow traffic to pass over it uninterrupted, while work takes place under it.

Costly? Yes, but not likely as costly as the disruption caused during the last few months by lane closure.

Dangerous? Not if adequate precautions were taken to provide for the safety of the workers on the construction works.

Possible? Yes if there is the will, there is the way.
