Attention, Hull residents! Get ready for some major road transformations, starting February 2, 2026. This is your comprehensive guide to the ongoing and upcoming roadworks that will shape the city's infrastructure.
The Road to Improvement: A Necessary Disruption
But here's where it gets controversial... while these roadworks are essential for the city's development, they can be a real headache for commuters and residents alike. So, let's dive into the details and uncover the impact of these projects.
A63 Castle Street Scheme: This major infrastructure upgrade between St. James Street and Market Place is set to continue until May 2026. Expect lane closures and road disruptions as the city undergoes a much-needed facelift.

Access to Hotham Road North and both sides of Cottingham Road from the roundabout will be closed. Temporary signals will manage traffic between Hall Road and Fairfax Avenue, so plan your routes accordingly!
Anlaby Road: Gas pipe replacement near the junction with Calvert Lane continues until February 10. Be aware of the full eastbound road closure on this section.
Humber Dock Street & Princes Dock Street: These streets will be closed until April 30, 2026, for public realm development. A significant transformation is on the horizon!
High Street & Chapel Lane: Phased road closures are in place until February 13 for essential mains connections. The good news? Only one road will be closed at a time, and the site will be clear on weekends, offering some much-needed relief.
Main Road: Multi-way signals are operational outside numbers 9 to 93 for gas pipe replacement until February 13. A necessary inconvenience for a safer and more efficient gas supply.
National Avenue: Similar to Main Road, multi-way signals are in place near the junction with Bontoft Avenue for mains cable renewals until February 11. A small price to pay for improved utility services!
Scale Lane Footbridge: Investigation works continue until February 6, which may intermittently close the bridge to pedestrians and cyclists. Diversions are available via the Millennium footbridge.
Green Lane: From February 6 to 13, multi-way signals will be in place at the Toogood Street junction for supply disconnection. A temporary measure to ensure a seamless transition.
And this is the part most people miss... these roadworks are a sign of progress and development. While they may cause temporary inconveniences, they are essential for the long-term growth and improvement of our city.
