Popular Monks Cross route in York remains closed one way
Hopes that an away match today for York City FC would lead to shorter queues have proved unfounded.
Malton Road is at a standstill from the roundabout on the approach to Monks Cross to the Hopgrove roundabout and queues are building on the Outer Ring Road.
The Monks Cross Link Road from the roundabout next to Primark to the Outer Ring Road remains closed to northbound traffic. The alternative route is via Malton Road and Hopgrove roundabout.
The infrastructure work is part of the construction of 970 new houses in the area and the closure is expected to remain in place continuously until November 6.
When it first started two weekends ago, motorists reported spending up to 30 minutes in queues and advised others not to shop in the area.
Monks Cross Shopping Centre and Vangarde remain fully open and all other routes to the two centres are.
This weekend the Minstermen are at Chesterfield. They return to the Community Stadium next weekend when they host Rotherham.
