Reduced speed limit at A59 Kex Gill to remain until September
The A59 at Kex Gill.
A reduced speed limit on the A59 at Kex Gill is set to remain in place until September due to an “uneven road surface”.
North Yorkshire Council has introduced the reduction which sees the speed limit lowered from 60 to 40 miles per hour.
Officials at the authority said the measure had been implemented due to the stretch of Kex Gill Road being uneven.
It added that the speed limit reduction will remain in place until September when the road will be closed for two weeks and resurfaced.
Barrie Mason, assistant director for highways and transport at the council, said:
“We have introduced a 40mph speed limit on a section of the existing A59 at Kex Gill due to the uneven road surface. This will only be in place until we carry out a resurfacing scheme.
“A start date is yet to be confirmed but we anticipate early September, lasting for two weeks under full road closures with signed diversions in place. We will notify the public in due course."
