The A1033 road is a main arterial route across Kingston upon Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire connecting Hull with Withernsea. The road carries traffic to and from the Port of Hull and Salt End at its western end, and local and holiday traffic at its eastern end. It is a primary route from the junction of the A63 road to the Salt End roundabout and is maintained on that section by National Highways. The section by the docks is also part of a designated abnormal load route.

The section northwards from the A63 junction to Dunswell, is known to have traffic problems.

Route details

The route starts at the junction of the A1174 road and the A1079 road, heading east across the River Hull, and staying on the eastern bank of the river south towards Drypool. [2]

The section of dual carriageway between the A63 in Hull to the roundabout at Salt End, is designated as a trunk road, one of only two in the East Riding of Yorkshire. [3] The trunk road section is maintained by National Highways, with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council maintaining the non-trunk route from Salt End to Withernsea. [4] The road is the primary route connecting the north and York to the Port of Hull, and as such, the section between the A63 junction and the A1079 junction is subject to congestion. [5] A small section of road into and out of the Port of Hull is an abnormal load route to and from Beverley along the A165 road. [6]

As the road runs eastwards by the Port of Hull, it has two cycle paths on either side. The northern path is for local access, but has a connection with the National Cycle Network Route 66, [7] and the southern path goes into the docks and is part of the Trans Pennine Trail. [8]

As the road leaves Salt End, it cuts to the south of Hedon. The old road used to go through Hedon, [9] but traffic levels prompted the building of a bypass in the late 1980s. [10]

History

The section of road between Hedon and Patrington, was repaired considerably under a Parliamentary bill for a turnpike between the two locations in 1761. The section between Hedon and Hull was a new turnpike road that followed the more direct route between the two places, but was not opened until 1833. [11]

A section of the road by the Port of Hull was used in a very early trial of stone mastic asphalt (SMA). The site was chosen because it was a heavily trafficked route with lorries going to and from the docks. Sections of SMA were laid in 1991 and 1993 as part of a trial into preventing deformation of the road under heavy traffic conditions. [12] In 2003, a new 4.2-mile (6.7 km) section of dual carriageway was opened between the junction with the A63 and Salt End roundabout (the trunk road section). [13] The Highways Agency approved scheme cost over £40 million and was part of a TPI (Targeted Programme of Improvements) as the A1033 was subject to congestion due to the extra port traffic. [14] The new road was built alongside the existing single carriageway, with it being just to the south, and so became the westbound section of the dual carriageway. The works included a flyover at Salt End. [15]

A Eurorap survey carried between 2012 and 2014, rated the section from the junction of the A63 road to Withernsea as being a low medium risk road, with the section from the A63 north to the A1079 road as being a medium risk road. [16] In 2014, a scheme to add a dedicated lane for ferry traffic into the Port of Hull was opened at a cost of £590,000. [17]

In October 2019, it was announced that a 1,300 feet (400 m) stretch of the coastline at Withernsea would be given new sea defences in a scheme worth over £5 million. The defences will also prolong the life of the A1033 as it enters the town from the south quite close to the coastline. [18]

The A1, also known as the Great North Road, is the longest numbered road in the United Kingdom, at 410 miles (660 km). It connects London, the capital of England, with Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. The numbering system for A-roads, devised in the early 1920s, was based around patterns of roads radiating from two hubs at London and Edinburgh. The first number in the system, A1, was given to the most important part of that system: the road from London to Edinburgh, joining the two central points of the system and linking the UK's (then) two mainland capital cities. It passes through or near north London, Hatfield, Stevenage, Baldock, Biggleswade, Peterborough, Stamford, Grantham, Newark-on-Trent, Retford, Doncaster, Pontefract, York, Wetherby, Ripon, Darlington, Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne, Morpeth, Alnwick, Berwick-upon-Tweed, Dunbar, Haddington, Musselburgh, and east Edinburgh.

The A453 road was formerly the main trunk road connecting the English cities of Nottingham and Birmingham. However, the middle section of this mainly single-carriageway road has largely been downgraded to B roads or unclassified roads following the construction of the parallel M42-A42 link around 1990. The M42 was originally meant to pass further north than it does, and to join the M1 at Sandiacre in Derbyshire. The M42/A42 does not enter Derbyshire, but instead joins the M1 closer to the A453 junction at Kegworth. The A42 shadows the former A453 from Appleby Magna to Castle Donington. The road historically connected the East Midlands with the West Midlands.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lagoon Hull</span> Proposed lagoon in the Humber Estuary, England

Lagoon Hull is a proposed £1.5 billion development on the Humber Estuary foreshore between Hessle and Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The proposed lagoon would be formed from a stone causeway and will provide an outer lock gate in the Humber Estuary which would effectively dam the River Hull, making it a non-tidal waterway. The 11-kilometre (6.8 mi) long causeway would also provide a dual carriageway from the A63 at Hessle which would run to Hull Docks, taking traffic away from the city centre. The scheme is being vaunted as one that will prevent future flooding in Hull when sea levels rise, and contribute to less flooding in the wider Humber Estuary.
