This project involves improvements and repairs to the carriageway on Minster Way, specifically at two
locations:
• The approach to the Figham (Lidl) roundabout
• The approaches to the Pegasus crossing near Ward Way
These works form part of the capital programme for planned highway maintenance, which has an annual
budget of approximately £18 million. The scheme has been incorporated into the ongoing Jock Lodge
improvements programme of works.
Current Issues
The issues identified as requiring attention as part
of this contract are listed below:
• Poor and damaged road condition and
uneven road surface,
• Temporary patch repairs
• Failed high friction surfacing
Procurement
The works are to be procured externally via the YORcivil Framework Agreement which is
administered by Infrastructure and Facilities. Use of the Framework ensures that work is procured
legally and in accordance with EU directives. It also prevents repetition of work in checking potential
supplier’s financial viability, health and safety record/policies, insurances, and competence.
Scheme Design
• The road surface will be replaced to a depth of 30mm with a new surface course.
• All gullies and beanie kerbs within the affected areas will be cleaned upon completion of the
works.
• Cold-applied High Friction Surfacing will be installed on the Pegasus crossing following
resurfacing.
• Road markings will be refreshed throughout the scheme area.
Programming
• Works are scheduled to commence on 30th September 2025, following the completion of
closures at the Jocks Lodge interchange. The scheme is expected to last for up to four nights.
• Where a thin surface course is used, works will be programmed to avoid the colder months
(November to February), ensuring optimal installation conditions.
• Every effort will be made to minimise noise disruption during the works.
Temporary Traffic Management
Traffic management will be implemented at the two separate locations as follows:
• Minster Way (East Section):
Closed overnight from 8pm to 5am between Figham roundabout and Peter’s Way
roundabout to carry out works on the Pelican crossing. Duration: 2 nights.
• Minster Way (West Section):
Closed overnight from 7pm to Midnight between Lincoln Way and Ward Way roundabout to
carry out works on the Pegasus crossing. Duration: 2 nights.
• Diversions:
Signed diversion routes will be in place via Flemingate, Minster Yard South, and
Queensgate through Beverley.
