Roadworks causing delays on a busy junction near Hull city centre will be completed by 25 June, a utility firm has said.

Temporary traffic lights have been set up on Spring Bank and Park Street.

Motorists have reported congestion along both sides of Spring Bank, with queues back to the junction with Beverley Road and Ferensway at peak times.

Electricity company Northern Powergrid said it was carrying out work to "overlay 263 ft (80m) of cable in the carriageway".

"We expect work to be completed by the 25 June and the site to be completely reinstated," a spokesperson said.

"We thank customers for their patience whilst we work as quickly and as safely as possible."
