The footbridge to the York RI building on Queen Street had been removed as work on the York Station Gateway project continues.

The slip road which runs down to York RI gym and closed while work was being carried out, has now reopened.

The project will mean vast improvement to transport interchange and public spaces around the train station, with the full scheme being valued at around 25 million.

Councillor Pete Kilbane, deputy leader of the City of York Council has said: “This is another step forward for the project which will create a fitting gateway to our historic railway.”

“The project will deliver significant transport improvements as well as welcoming public spaces that will bring major economic and social benefits, alongside the development of York Central.

“We are working closely with our partners to keep people informed and also to minimise disruption.”
