Work to begin on Folkton landslip area

A scheme to stabilise a road affected by landslips is due to start on Monday November 14. The ramps approaching the bridge on Carr Lane in Folkton are resurfaced every few years. However, highways officers discovered a landslip under the road and bridge.

North Yorkshire County Council’s executive member for highways and transportation, Cllr Keane Duncan, said: “This specialist work will make the area more stable which will ensure its safety for road users and make future resurfacing schemes more manageable.” The road is scheduled for an eight-week closure.
