Micklegate in York to remain closed over bank holiday weekend
Micklegate has been closed to motorists for almost a week after City of York Council said officials had discovered a void beneath the road surface close to the street’s junction with North Street.
The void, which is clear to observers passing by, has disrupted residents and business deliveries, which are being re-routed.

Despite this, the council insists that the street is “very much open for business” throughout the Bank Holiday weekend, with Micklegate still accessible for pedestrians, mobility aid users and cyclists.

As The Press reported, there has been no confirmed date of the road reopening.
Steve Wragg, the council’s head of highways asset management, said: “We aim to keep disruption to a minimum and are undertaking a thorough investigation of the void and what’s caused it, before we can decide on the best way to resolve it and then re-open the road.”
