The works are part of a wider investment project aimed at improving Hull's highway infrastructure, the council says

A busy junction is to close for more than a month for gas maintenance and carriageway resurfacing works.

Queens Road, at the junction of Princes Avenue, in Hull will be shut between 7 April and 16 May.

According to the local authority, the works, by Hull City Council and Northern Gas Networks, are part of a wider investment project aimed at improving the city's highway infrastructure and ensuring the safety and reliability of essential services in the area.

Gillian Osgerby, interim assistant director for major projects and infrastructure at the council, said: "By coordinating with Northern Gas Networks, we aim to minimise disruption and complete these essential improvements efficiently."

A single road closure will be in place at the junction with a diversion via Beverley Road.

Temporary signals will be operational to manage traffic flow.

The authority said access would be maintained for residents, schools, and local businesses throughout the duration of the works.

However, between 6 and 16 May, access to Princes Road will be available only via De Grey Street, with the one-way system temporarily suspended.
