Following an initial temporary closure last weekend, the road will again be closed from 3pm on Saturday to 11am on Sunday.
Further similar temporary closures are scheduled on Saturday, August 10, and Friday, August 16, before a final closure on Saturday, August 24.
NORTH HULL: A city charity that helps adults with learning difficulties is staging an open day at its gardening project on Friday.
Case is holding the event at the Oak Road and Clough Road allotments from 10am to 11.30am and from 1.50pm to 3pm. Admission is free.
HULL: The second in a series of summer picnics at Hull History Centre will take place on Friday.
The free family-friendly event, which runs from noon to 2pm, will examine what belongings typical Victorian orphans would have with them when being sent to live in an orphanage.

WEST HULL: City council planners have refused a retrospective application to install a bamboo canopy around a café's outdoor seating area.
The canopy outside the Ali Baba café in Prices Avenue was constructed recently with planning permission.
A supporting statement submitted by the cafe's architectural agents describes it as a "sensitive design" but council planning officers have now refused a retrospective application seeking approval after receiving objections to the structure.
One objector labelled the canopy as "a diabolical eyesore".
HULL: Food businesses wanting to find out about offering a healthier choice to customers can learn more on a course being held in the city next week.
Hosted by the Hull Council for Voluntary Services, the afternoon course on Monday is appropriate for anyone who works with food or who has an interest in improving their diet.
It runs from 1pm to 4pm at the CVS building in Beverley Road.
