Delayed road scheme on track to open next spring
In December, National Highways announced the A63 Castle Street project had been delayed by a year due to "extremely challenging ground conditions".
Work had originally been due to be completed by spring 2025.
Project manager Frances Oliver apologised for the delays, but said the scheme was on track to be completed by the revised date.
Ms Oliver said: "It's a really technical scheme and there are lots of different elements.
"There is really large element of technical design to overcome the ground conditions and, as part of that, we've had to do some slight tweaks to the design," she said.
"We are really disappointed and we apologise for the delays - we all want to get this scheme finished."
In response to a question about congestion, she said they had made some tweaks to traffic control measures as a result of customer feedback and were working with the city council to monitor the situation.
For the majority of the time, she said there were two lanes of traffic running in each direction, with speed restrictions in place.

The A63 Castle Street project has come a long way since construction work started in 2020.
When I visited the site in September, all seemed to be going well, with National Highways telling me the project would be finished by spring this year.
But since it was announced in December that it would be delayed by a year I have been swamped with messages from people frustrated at having to sit in traffic jams every day.
Highways bosses cited extremely challenging ground conditions near the Humber as the reason for the delay, but this is of little comfort to the thousands of motorists who use the local road network every day.
To be fair, it is a monumental project, and one which should make a huge difference to traffic flow in the city when it finally gets over the finish line.

Teens used to chase the freedom of driving. Gen Z isn't interested.
Meet the young "passenger princesses" who don't want to drive — and the parents chauffeuring them around. The day I turned 16, I hounded my mom to take me to the DMV to get my driver's license. It was a day I had looked forward to for years: the promise of a 16th birthday and the independence that would come with getting my driver's license. But that was in 2009. Now things are different. For many young people, that rite of passage is being delayed or avoided entirely. According to data from the Department of Transportation, only 25% of 16-year-olds had a driver's license in 2022, compared to 50% in 1983. But why are Gen Z-ers eschewing what was once seen as the pinnacle of teenage life? Oliver, a 20-year-old from Illinois, tells me that he only recently got his driver's license, after getting a job that required him to have it. 'I avoided doing it,' he says. 'I felt like it would be unsafe or I wouldn't be good at it.' This is something that young people told me over and over again: They were scared of driving — and studies have shown that Gen Z has more anxiety than other generations. But it's not only the stress that stopped him from getting his driver's license, Oliver adds. There was also the fact that so much of his generation's socializing happens online. 'We do so much online through social media,' he says. 'We all grew up with this sense of life, that you spend two hours scrolling by yourself.' Is it only natural that a generation raised on the internet and social media turns to their phones instead of going outside and spending time with each other? 'I don't really go many places,' says Megan, a 29-year-old in Missouri who says anxiety over driving has kept her from getting her driver's license. 'I'm very scared to get it,' she says. 'I don't know why.' Another common theme: the pandemic. Miles, a 17-year-old from Minnesota, says it shaped his generation. 'We were virtual with our friends. We didn't feel the need to go outside to hang out or go places,' he says. 'There's less of a desire to go out.' Miles, who is Black, also worried about his safety should he be pulled over by police. Then there's the financial aspect: It costs around $600, he estimates, to pay for driver's ed and the driver's test to get your license. Though he was eligible to get his license at 16, Miles waited until after he turned 17. '[It] feels like being free,' he admits. That sense of freedom is what I worry young people are missing. I posted videos on Instagram and TikTok while I was working on this story and people flooded the comments, telling me why they hadn't gotten their licenses. Cost was an issue that arose repeatedly, and with good reason — cars, gas and insurance have only gotten more expensive since I was a teenager. And even in places without public transportation systems, there are Ubers and Lyfts to fill the gap for a teenager or young adult who isn't ready to drive or can't afford the costs associated with it. Hannah, a 21-year-old from New York, tells me she might consider getting her driver's license once she's out of college, but that it's not a priority right now. 'Luckily, my parents are amazing,' she says. 'They drove me around forever.' But for some parents, it can be frustrating for their teenage and young adult children to refuse to get their licenses and become so-called passenger princesses. Nora, a mom in California, has a 20-year-old daughter who doesn't want to get her driver's license. For Nora, that requires more intensive parenting than she thought she would be doing at this stage. 'I feel like I'm in that stage of life where I absolutely should be a full empty nester but instead I have the equivalent of a 14- or 15-year-old, where they have expectations and demands and they want autonomy … but they literally require us to get them there.' Nora believes it may have been the pandemic that changed her daughter's generation so much — those months of lockdown where life shrunk to what was on our phones and in our houses. Radhika is the mom of a 21-year-old who has no interest in getting her license. 'It's been really frustrating,' she says. 'There's some block. I don't know what the deal is.' Part of it, Radhika thinks, is because her daughter doesn't really go anywhere. What's the point of getting a driver's license when you don't have anywhere you want to go? This is something else I heard over and over from people: There's nowhere for teenagers to go anymore. But where did I go as a teenager, with my license? My friends and I hung out at each other's houses or at parks or even in parking lots. There's never really been anywhere for teenagers to go. That's not the point of a license. The point of a license is to be able to go somewhere outside of your house. 'It's very frustrating watching her,' Radhika says. 'It's very sad. I just want my life.' Rebecca, who is the mom of a 16-year-old in Los Angeles, cites social media and phones as major factors in the decline of young people getting their licenses. When there is nonstop entertainment and stimulation inside of your phone, what's the point of getting your license? 'Pre-phones, if we wanted to escape, we had to physically escape. We got into cars and drove,' she says. 'Anything that teenagers would do to escape, whether it's trying to get high or have sex or go shopping, that can all be done with a phone. I do think that COVID basically created the opportunity for young people to figure out how to exist without leaving the house.'

Should driving rules be changed for the elderly? Call for new tests after pensioner's death
A woman whose 79-year-old mother died after pulling out into oncoming traffic is calling for a change to rules for older drivers. Geraldine Gibson was crossing the A30 near Launceston in Cornwall when she pulled into the path of another car. She suffered multiple serious injuries and died, as did her pet dog, and the other driver was left with minor injuries. An inquest heard there was nothing the other driver could have done to avoid it. National Highways said the junction she was crossing, where there had been other accidents, has now been changed. But Gibson's daughter Claire Eady, from West Sussex, has called for changes to driving rules for older people, saying current laws are "unsafe and inadequate". Currently there is no upper age limit for driving in the UK, and the onus is on drivers to notify the DVLA of any conditions affecting their fitness to drive. 'You might not kill yourself but you could kill other people' Speaking to Yahoo News UK, Eady said that needed to change. "There should definitely be something in place when people hit 70," she said. "At least eye tests and looking at their ability to drive. Even some people at that age can't read number plates if they have to, and there's no requirement on opticians to report that." She previously told the BBC that if rules for older drivers were different, her mother would still possibly be alive, saying age was "absolutely a factor" in her crash. She told the broadcaster she believed arthritis and a stroke may have affected her mum's driving, revealing that she had previously had a separate near-collision. Eady has explained that she understands why elderly people would not voluntarily want to put themselves in a position where their license is taken away, especially given the potential impact on their independence, telling the BBC: "You can't really rely on the individual to do that... especially if it's their only way of getting out." She said she didn't think her mother would ever have thought to stop driving because there were "too many things that depended on her being out in a car". But speaking to Yahoo News UK, she added: "It's the effect it has on other people - you might not kill yourself but you could kill somebody else." What are the rules for drivers over 70 in the UK? There is currently no upper age limit for drivers in the UK, but when you reach 70 you have to renew your driving licence, then every three years after that. Renewal is free of charge and you don't have to retake a driving test, but you do have to make a health declaration when renewing your licence and if you have a health condition or disability, you may have to have your driving ability assessed. DVLA guidance says health professionals should inform it if a patient cannot or will not, but they are not legally required to. Eady is calling for mandatory testing for people over the age of 70 and for medical professionals to be legally required to notify authorities of any health conditions that could affect their driving. In 2023, the government said around a quarter of all car drivers killed were older drivers, with 11% of all casualties in car collisions being in collisions involving older drivers. It said between 2004 and 2023, the number of killed or seriously injured (KSI) casualties from a collision involving at least one older car driver increased by 12% from 3,082 to 3,451, while the number of KSI casualties in collisions involving other aged car drivers fell 45% from 37,023 to 20,397. It also found that over the period 2019 to 2023, the most common contributory factor allocated to vehicles driven by an older car driver involved in fatal or serious collisions was 'driver failed to look properly' followed by 'driver failed to judge another person's path or speed'. Should driving rules be changed for the elderly in the UK? Do you agree with Eady's belief that elderly drivers should have their ability re-assessed or their eye sight checked?
