MPs Rishi Sunak and Kevin Hollinrake have welcomed further progress on making the A19 in North Yorkshire a safer road. Following completion of work to close gaps in the central reservation at Mount Grace Priory, near Northallerton, Highways England is pressing ahead with design work on additional safety improvements. Detailed design work is being carried out on the stretch of the road between the A172 Tontine junction and Trenholme Bar, near East Rounton. Designs are also being worked on for the road between the A684/Ellerbeck junction and Knayton, north of Thirsk. The work includes the closing of central reservation gaps and some access points, new junctions, and improvements to safety barriers, signs and road markings – after consultation with local people.
