Overrunning construction works on A63 lead to traffic congestion

A63 road has been witnessing heavy traffic and congestion. This has happened due to the blockage of the westbound lane between the A1034 and M62 at junction 38 at North Cave.

Unexpected circumstances led contractors to work for extra hours

As per reports from the National Highways, construction was expected to end at 6 am, but contractors told them they would continue working for unforeseen reasons. Drivers in the vicinity experienced delays. They were also asked to follow the indicated yellow detour signs.
