A stretch of York's inner ring road near the city's railway station is to shut from Saturday to Tuesday for roadworks to be carried out.
Queen Street will close from 19:00 BST on Saturday to allow contractors to remove the existing road surface and replace it in a new road layout, as part of ongoing work to transform the front of the railway station.
Trains will run as usual but some bus routes will be diverted and free shuttle buses will run between Blossom Street and the station, the council said.
Kate Ravilious, York council's executive member for transport, said the authority was working with developers to "to minimise disruption throughout the bank holiday".
Pedestrians will still be able to use the route during the closure and the gates at Lowther Terrace will be open to allow pedestrians and cyclists through.
Ravilious said: "There has been a lot of change around the station recently and I would like to thank everybody for their continued cooperation and patience as these works are ongoing.
"We want to stress that York is open for business and over the bank holiday there will be lots of great things for people to enjoy."
But the council has urged people to plan their journeys around the city carefully, as the closure coincides with urgent roadworks on St Leonard's Place after a sinkhole opened up on the road.
Queen Street is expected to reopen at 06:00 BST on Tuesday.
