A 650-mile network of roads sits at the heart of the transport network in Yorkshire and the North East – creating connections and bringing opportunities for our region to thrive. This includes the A63 through Hull where we’re investing £355m to create a new junction. This will create a much better connection between the city centre and the retail and docks area as well as improving the link from the M62. And it will support the city’s economic growth, improving journeys to and from the centre, and will help the Port of Hull to thrive. Drivers will have seen work has started on the eastbound carriageway approaching Mytongate roundabout. This work is led by Yorkshire Water to renew and reroute sewers that have been affected by the construction of the new underpass.

A 650-mile network of roads sits at the heart of the transport
network in Yorkshire and the North East – creating connections and
bringing opportunities for our region to thrive. This includes the
A63 through Hull where we’re investing £355m to create a new
junction. This will create a much better connection between the
city centre and the retail and docks area as well as improving the
link from the M62. And it will support the city’s economic growth,
improving journeys to and from the centre, and will help the Port
of Hull to thrive.
Drivers will have seen work has started on the eastbound carriageway approaching Mytongate roundabout. This work is led by Yorkshire Water to renew and reroute sewers that have been affected by the construction of the new underpass.
This work is going to be complex due to the size of the pipes that need to be diverted and the confined space that the crews have to work in. Yorkshire Water has already carried out some preparatory work close to the Myton Centre, Cogan Street to the north of the
A63 and St James Street to the south ready for them to start the diversion.
The new sewer needs to be built on each side of Mytongate and will be created using a tunnel boring machine. The first tunnel on the west side of Mytongate will be carried out between January and April and the second one on the east side will be carried out between April and August.
Dale Crapper, project manager at Yorkshire Water, said: “This is a significant project for Hull and we’re pleased to be playing our part by rerouting the sewer network in the area.
“We are collaborating with Highways England to carry out the work on the A63 and will be using our expertise to overcome the challenges this significant project poses.”
To carry out this work there will be narrow lanes and a 30mph speed limit in place to allow them to safely carry out this work to improve the sewer network.
At Highways England we believe in a connected country and our network makes these connections happen. We strive to improve our major roads and motorways - engineering the future to keep people moving today and moving better tomorrow.
Flushing out a new vision for sewer management around Mytongate
A63 Castle Street improvement
We’ve started demolishing Myton Centre,
which was originally owned by Hull City
Council, to create a new area of public
open space. This is to replace the land that
we needed at Trinity Burial Ground.
Demolition work has started and is expected to be complete by the end of February. The area will then be landscaped and turned into a new public open space, connecting the existing Jubilee Arboretum with William Street Park.
We’ve also restarted our work to strengthen the central reservation between Mytongate and Alfred
Street. This is so we can build the underpass and divert the large sewer. It will also allow us to carry out more work during the day going forward.
This work needs to be carried out overnight as we need to close the eastbound A63 and reduce the westbound to one lane for safety. We’re working between 8pm and 2am on weekdays until the end of January. We have limited the noisiest activities to before 11.30pm.
In February we’ll be starting demolition work on the Arco building. Further details will be provided to those closeby and on our website.
We are Considerate Constructors
which is why we’re part of the
Considerate Constructor scheme.
It looks at how we respond to customer queries but also good environmental, health and safety practice and social value – how we work with local firms to safeguard jobs in the local community.

New noise and vibration monitoring equipment installed
We’ve been installing solar powered noise and vibration monitoring equipment at seven key locations across the area. Utilising the latest technology, this equipment requires minimal maintenance and sends us data. This will help us to plan our work better, reduce the impact for our customers and ensure we remain compliant with any noise levels agreed.
Trinity Burial Ground reveals its secrets
Work is gathering pace at Trinity Burial Ground where up to 90 archaeologists are conducting extensive work. We’ve set up a special webpage https://highwaysengland.co.uk/our-work/a63-castle- street-archaeology/ to document all our finds and you can keep up to date on our Twitter account too @HighwaysYorks Keep an eye out for our special archaeology project which we’ll be launching soon.
We’re always interested to hear about people’s
personal connection to those buried in the burial
ground - if you haven’t already been in touch but
have an interest please contact us.
Still open for business at Kingston Retail Park
We’re installing new temporary fencing around Kingston Retail Park to screen shoppers from our working areas. There will be new temporary pedestrian and vehicle routes to the retail park but businesses and shops will remain open throughout our work and shoppers will still be able to visit their favourite stores.

Helping Hull Foodbank fight hunger at Christmas
We all know what a difficult year 2020 was for everyone contending with the challenges presented by the pandemic. We worked with the Hull Foodbank and our contractors raised over £1,000 and made food donations. We also provided assistance to pick up donations received at local superstores across the city and take them to the Foodbank’s central distribution hub.
Cleaning up Wellington Street West
To ensure we’re doing our bit to help the community we’ve been carrying out weekly litter picking and regular road sweeping outside our site compound in Wellington Street West to maintain the quality of the surrounding area.
Community work
We’ll be providing a community defibrillator on Wellington Street West
We’re employing local suppliers/businesses where possible and have already set up orders worth £1m over the last six months
We’re reducing our carbon footprint where possible. In Trinity Burial Ground we’ve been using hybrid solar generators which has resulted in 77% reduction in fuel consumption
when compared to a traditional generator. This has saved 4,500kg of CO2 each month. That’s the same as nearly five trips between London Gatwick and John F. Kennedy international airport in New York
We’re also using three electric diggers in the burial ground which reduces all CO2
