EAST RIDING: Roadworks due to get under way today on the B1228 have been delayed for a week for groundwater levels to be measured.
Tests will be carried out to check if high groundwater levels in the area will have an adverse effect on the works.
The eight-week reconstruction scheme will involve roadworks in Ellerton and Bubwith.
Road closures and diversions will be in operation when the work starts.
Access will be maintained for emergency services, shop deliveries, refuse collection, mobile library, mobile optician and postal services.
Bus and school bus services to surrounding villages will be maintained, although some disruption will be unavoidable due the nature of works.
