A164 and Jocks Lodge Junction Improvement Scheme
The A164 is a key route within the East Riding of Yorkshire that connects Beverley and Kingston upon Hull as well as providing a link to the wider strategic highway network via the Humber Bridge and A63. Currently, the A164 and Jocks Lodge Junction experience significant volumes of traffic and congestion, particularly during peak hours.
Pell Frischman was appointed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC)to develop improvement measures, including dualling a 4.4km section of the A164 between Lincoln Way Roundabout and Skidby Roundabout, and remodelling Jocks Lodge Junction, a grade-separated half-clover leaf junction that connects the A164 with the A1079.
The scheme aims to reduce the level of traffic congestion experienced at present on the route whilst improving the travel experience for all road users on the network and facilitating growth for East Riding of Yorkshire.

What We’ve Been Doing
Pell Frischmann worked closely with ERYC during the initial ‘Options Selection’ stage which involved preparing a series of preliminary design drawings that were subsequently appraised in an Options Assessment Report.
After a successful application to the Department for Transport (DfT), Pell Frischmann was commissioned to submit an Outline Business Case (OBC), which was followed by planning, detailed design, and Full Business Case (FBC) submissions. We are currently providing site supervision during construction which started in early 2024 and will also be undertaking the post-scheme monitoring and evaluation.
Outcomes So Far
- Preliminary Design: Development of the preliminary scheme design options and preparation of an Options Assessment Report (OAR).
- Transport Modelling: Production of a newSATURN model, including a Local Model Validation Report, an Appraisal Specification Report (ASR), an Economics Report, and a Data Collection Report.
- Business Case: Development of the strategic, financial, management, commercial, and economic case sections to ensure the scheme would achieve successful outcomes based on key objectives.
- Detailed Design: Development of the detailed design, which includes a new bridge on the A164 route.
- Site Supervision: Providing support to ERYC and overseeing construction of the scheme on site in accordance with the detailed design
- Monitoring and Evaluation: Completion of the pre-scheme data collection and evaluation.
The scheme received planning permission in July 2020 and final funding approval in Autumn 2023. Construction works for the scheme are due to be finalised in 2026.
“This scheme will help to reduce journey times for vehicles travelling along the A164 and through Jocks Lodge junction, as well as provide enhancements to the existing active travel facilities on this key corridor. Pell Frischmann has supported East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) on this project from the outset, having initially developed several concept design options. It is great to see the scheme progressing through construction having secured planning permission, funding approval and completing the detailed design process over the last few years.”
