The York Outer Ring Road is a ring road around the city of York , England . The south-eastern section is part of the A64 and the north-western section is the A1237 .
4-587: An outer ring road for York had been proposed as far back as 1948 but it wasn't until 1976 that the first section, the York Bypass, opened. The second section was constructed in three phases. The first phase, the northern section between the A19 and the A64 , opened in 1986, the second and third sections opened the following year - phase two was between the A64 and the A59 and phase three
8-419: The roundabout on the A19 junction was upgraded at a cost of £1.2M and took about 12 weeks. Access and exits were widened; improved crossings; resurfacing and improved lighting and signage were done. In 2014, the roundabout that formed the junction between the ring road and the A59 was improved by York City Council in time for the 2014 Tour de France Stage 2 to pass over it. In 2018 the roundabout with B1224
12-451: Was replaced with a larger one. The new roundabout has wider access and exits; improved crossings; new signage and new lighting added. Several bodies have proposed improvements to the single carriageway A1237 . These include: The south-eastern section ( A64 ) runs as a continuous dual carriageway with grade separated junctions at Grimston Bar ( A1079 / A166 ), Fulford ( A19 ) and Askham Bar ( A1036 ). The north-western section ( A1237 )
16-617: Was the short section between the A59 and A19 - this section took longer to construct due to it having to cross the River Ouse and the East Coast Main Line . Phase three was opened by the Secretary of State for Transport Paul Channon on 11 December 1987. In 2009 the roundabout with Malton Lane and the Hopgrove roundabout was improved by adding extra lanes and Traffic signals. In 2011
