York city centre bridge to close for streetlight work
City of York Council said it is closing Bishopgate in York from the Tower Street roundabout to its junction with Clementhorpe from 8pm on Monday, July 6 to 6am on Tuesday July 7.
The stretch of road includes Skeldergate Bridge and is one of the principal routes for traffic across York which avoids the city centre.
