This follows concerns from residents and subsequent local councillor action - where Neil Barnes and Fiona Fitzpatrick requested it be completed in the current financial year of the City of York Council.
The works are expected to take up to 11 weeks. A press release from City of York council stated:
"To carry out the works safely, a road closure will be necessary. A signed diversion route will operate for local and through traffic. However, the road closure will remain in place at all times (over a 24hr period) including weekends.
"Reconstruction works will be carried out in three phases working in 120 metre sections on a rolling process. Due to the nature of the works and the deep excavations taking place, it will not always be possible for residents to gain vehicular access to their properties. In these circumstances residents will need to use alternative parking.
"Bus services will be diverted via Hull Road and Fifth Avenue for the full duration of the closures. For the latest bus information call Bus Info on (01904) 551400 or visit www.itravelyork.info/buses/
"Pedestrian access will be available at all times but cyclists will have to dismount and use the footways when travelling through the affected areas.
"As with any construction work, there is likely to be a certain amount of disruption and inconvenience but everything reasonably possible will be done to keep this to a minimum. However, motorists should expect some delays and are advised to plan their journey accordingly.
"The works will be carried out by City of York Council who will be responsible for safety and providing pedestrian access at all times."
