Summary Traders have expressed concern about a year-long delay to major roadworks on the A63 in Hull.

Highway officials said "extremely challenging ground conditions" meant the £355m redesign of Castle Street would not be completed until spring 2026.

Geology expert Dr Anna Bird said building work was "complicated" in Hull due to weak sediments underground.
