THE A64 at Malton has been re-opened this afternoon after it was closed due to blocks of concrete on the carriageway.

Highways England had tweeted that the road was closed westbound due to a collision and an overturned trailer.

Two 10-foot concrete blocks fell onto the carriageway and the police arranged a fork lift to help move them, they added.

However, they said at around 4.15pm that the road had been re-opened.

Bus service Coastliner said that delays were inevitable due to long tailbacks from the closure.
