City of York Council has closed Low Petergate outside Poundland this afternoon. It is likely to remain closed until Monday morning at the earliest.
Work to permanently repair a void which was plated before Christmas, has revealed a hole which extends halfway across the road. A diversion is in place around Swinegate. Work to repair the road will start tomorrow.
Pedestrians are unaffected as half the road and one footway remain open.
