As previously reported by The Press, the demolition of Queen Street Bridge got underway following the weekend closure of the area - which started at 8pm on Friday, April 19.
The demolition was the first part of the ongoing York Station Gateway scheme, which aims to revamp the area outside York Station.
Now as part of the next phase of the project, contractors John Sisk & Son has applied to City of York Council for a permit to carry out five consecutive weekday night closures of the Queen Street diversion road. This will see the road closed from Monday, November 4 - Friday, November 8 over five nights from 7.30pm - 6am.
City of York Council says that during the day the road will reopen to traffic.
The night works will see the removal of the remaining part of Queen Street Bridge, which was left in place while further work took place to protect the walls.
It follows two weekend closures in April this year which saw the removal of the majority of Queen Street Bridge and the construction of the diversion road.
