Construction firm GRAHAM has been appointed for the implementation of the East Riding of Yorkshire Council's improvement scheme, focusing on the transformation of a highly congested road junction.

Construction is set to commence in spring 2024 and when complete, in late 2026 traffic travelling on one of the area’s busiest routes will be freed up - benefiting the whole of the East Riding and helping to grow the local economy.

The project will involve the replacement of the Jock's Lodge junction situated on the outskirts of Beverley, connecting the A164 Hull to Beverley and the A1079 Hull to York roads.


A new roundabout will be created on the A1079 to connect it with Beverley and part of the A164 will be widened into a dual carriageway.

Alastair Lewis, GRAHAM Contracts Director said: "We're delighted to be appointed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council to deliver the A164 Jock's Lodge junction transformation scheme.

"The upgrade of the A164 and new junction arrangements with the A1079 dual carriageway, will alleviate congestion and enhance safety for non-motorists via dedicated pedestrian and cycling routes.

"Our track record of successfully delivering transformational civil engineering projects stands as testament to our commitment for the highest standards of work, professionalism, and technical expertise.

"We are proud to be East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s partner to deliver economic growth to the region.

"Over the next few months, the project team will be working hard to ensure the site is ready for the main build phase – we're looking forward to playing our part in this pivotal project and leaving a lasting legacy."
