PART of Blossom Street, York, will be subject to traffic restrictions later this month to allow telecommunication work to take place.

The carriageway heading towards Micklegate, between Holgate Road and The Crescent, will be closed to traffic throughout Monday, August 9 and Tuesday, August 10.

Temporary traffic lights will be in operation to allow traffic travelling towards and away from the city to use the unclosed part of the carriageway.

Vehicles travelling away from the city centre wanting to turn right from Blossom Street into Holgate Road will be unable to do so, and will have to use a signposted diversion.
