The £5 million Riccall and Barlby bypass opened in October 1987. This improved junctions with the A63 (Howden) and A163 (Holme-on-Spalding-Moor). The A63 and A19 meet at a roundabout near a large pickle factory. It heads towards Riccall where the road is much straighter after the bypass; it is following what was the East Coast Main Line before the Selby Diversion was built. Where the road leaves the old railway, the Trans Pennine Trail follows along the old track. At Escrick, it enters the Vale of York, and passes the BP "York Road Garage", the Parsonage Hotel and the church of St Helen. Next is Deighton, passing the "White Swan Inn", then it heads towards Crockey Hill. It meets the A64 near the headquarters of Persimmon plc.
