Due to the current high river levels at the moment, the works have been unable to have been carried out on Selby Road Bridge. We are hoping that the works will be able to be carried out by North Yorkshire Council at a later date when the water levels have receeded. We will update the notice on Wednesday 25th February 2026, with any further information received.
