Dave Waudby, head of infrastructure and facilities at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, said: “The council and its contractor, Galliford Try, are endeavouring to keep any disruption to a minimum for both businesses and customers alike.
“Throughout all phases of this important maintenance scheme, work to business thresholds will be carried out outside of normal working hours to reduce potential adverse impacts.
“We very much appreciate and value the continued support and cooperation of residents and the local business community whilst the repairs are being carried out.”
The council will continue to keep residents updated on the works as they progress and Galliford Try’s site office can also respond to enquiries.
