Re: A63/M62 junction 38 lighting upgrades 

We’re getting in touch to let you know that we’ll be renewing life-expired steel lighting columns and upgrading roadside lighting in your area to LED.

LED lighting benefits road users and the environment alike. It uses less power, produces lower carbon emissions and lasts longer, as well as reducing the need for future maintenance.  

• Where? We will be carrying out these important improvements on the westbound exit slip road at the A63/M62 junction 38 (North Cave). 
• When? Weeknights (Monday-Friday) between 10 August and 14 September 2026. The work will be carried out between 8pm and 6am. 

We will not be working on the Bank Holiday Monday (31 August). 

How will this affect me? 

To carry this out safely, we will need to close the A63/M62 westbound exit slip every weeknight while we work on this section. 

Motorists wishing to exit the A63/M62 westbound at North Cave will be diverted on the M62 westbound to junction 37(Howden) before being directed back to the junction 38 eastbound exit.  

Access will be in place for residents and businesses close to the slip road and we have written to them to inform them of access arrangements while this work is ongoing.

We have done all we can to minimise disruption, however we apologise for any inconvenience caused. 

Please note, this work is weather dependent, and closure dates may change at short notice.

Flood Alleviation Scheme Update

East Riding of Yorkshire Council has provided an update on the proposed flood alleviation scheme.

There are currently no public engagement events or drop-in sessions scheduled. Subject to the project’s progress, any future public engagement is expected to take place during mid-2027, in line with the anticipated submission of a planning application.

Work on the project continues to progress behind the scenes. Detailed ground investigations have now been completed, with groundwater monitoring and reporting continuing. The baseline hydraulic model has also been updated, while a range of additional site investigations have been undertaken. Ecological surveys and environmental monitoring remain ongoing.

The Council has contacted all affected landowners to discuss the proposals, and landowner considerations will continue to be taken into account as the detailed design develops. Preparation of the pre-planning application is also continuing.

South Cave Parish Council will continue to share updates with residents as further information becomes available and any future public engagement events are confirmed.
