Flaxby roadworks set to continue until June
Motorists are set to face five more weeks worth of delays on the A59 at Flaxby as ongoing roadworks are set to continue until June.
Work is being carried out by Power On, which is installing a high voltage circuit to provide power supply to a new business park in the area.
The cable is being installed along the verge of the A59 heading east towards A59/A1M junction.
Temporary traffic lights are in place at the site, which are in manual operations between 7.30am and 5pm, as well as one lane closure.
A spokesperson for Power On said:

The work forced the Tiger Inn pub in the village to close for five weeks at the start of the year.
At the time, Barbara Gill, who owns the Tiger Inn, said the pub was already dealing with the cost of living crisis – which has seen its energy bills increase to more than £4,000.
She said:
Power On said the work in Coneythorpe was completed ahead of schedule in March.
