City Wall closure for Piling Works
28/06/2024 - City Wall closure for Piling Works
York Station Gateway Project – Package
2.
Permanent closure of the City Walls between Station Rise and
Micklegate Bar for a further 4-week period until high-risk activity
- piling works are complete and Health and Safety measures have
been put in place.
The extension to the closure is required owing to unexpected ground
conditions which required further design to the piling, and
equipment breakdown delaying the piling works.
The 4-week closure allows safety measures to be installed, enabling
the walls to be opened safely from Friday 26th July 2024, or
earlier subject to a further risk assessment.
Decision - Implement Option 3. Whilst further closure is
unfortunate public safety is a priority and I note work to find a
solution to allow access is planned for the summer holidays.
