Commuters in York should prepare for potential traffic delays on Malton Road as a section of the bus lane will be closed for upcoming utility works. The bus lane on the approach to Heworth Green will be suspended from Tuesday 28 April to Wednesday 29 April 2026 to allow for essential telecoms work.
During this two-day period, buses operated by First York will merge into the main traffic lane rather than using the dedicated bus lane. This change is expected to affect regular services, including those travelling through the Heworth suburb.
Passengers who rely on local bus routes should anticipate that sharing the road with other vehicles may lead to extra congestion throughout the short-term disruption. Further information regarding service updates can be found on the First Bus York website.
