THE final phase of a £1.6m scheme to upgrade roads around Catterick Garrison to enable housing development and economic growth will begin next month.
The joint scheme by North Yorkshire County Council and Richmondshire District Council is improving junctions along the A6136 corridor.
Last year, the York, North Yorkshire and East Riding Local Enterprise Partnership awarded £1.2m for the scheme to the district council via the Local Growth Fund and the county council provided the remaining £400,000 to make the project happen.
The final junction upgrade at Whiteshops – the junction of Catterick Road, Byng Road and Horne Road – will begin with preparatory work from Monday, September 5.
The A6136 Catterick Road will remain open. The work will require the closure of Byng Road and Horne Road at the A6136 junction from Monday, September 12. The work is expected to last 12 weeks.
It will include additional lanes, new signalling equipment and new pedestrian islands. Visit www.northyorks.gov.uk/transportschemes.
