ROUNDABOUT

BARLBY ROUNDABOUT

BACKGROUND

Howard Civil Engineering was awarded this contract by Barratt Developments to construct a new roundabout centered on the existing A19/A163 Market Weighton junction, Barlby, north of Selby.

The roundabout, which replaces the notoriously dangerous A19/A163/York Road staggered junction, was built as a planning condition for the adjacent Barratt Homes residential development.

It was built to programme, following Howard Civil Engineering’s phasing drawings which were presented to stakeholders at the commencement of the scheme.

In conjunction with the work, our highly successful community liaison programme was praised by local councillors and residents of the surrounding villages. A fortnightly electronic newsletter was received by over 250 residents and businesses and further shared over social media, enabling anyone using the A19 to plan their journeys depending on the anticipated traffic management sequence for that phase.
