Gas works on Ripon Road, internet line fitting on Leeds Road, and construction works on Skipton Road are set to cause headaches for motorists in the town, just as roads become busier with children returning to school

Harrogate drivers can expect delays on some of the town's busiest roads in the weeks ahead.

Gas works on Ripon Road and internet line fitting on Leeds Road beginning this week are set to cause headaches for motorists in the town.

There are also ongoing construction works on Skipton Road, close to the Ripon Road junction, which could cause further problems in the north of the town.

With schools set to return tomorrow, expect delays on these routes.

Leeds Road: September 6-13




Temporary lights have been causing significant tailbacks today on Leeds Road, around Firs Crescent, in Rossett Green.

The two-way traffic control signals are in place while CityFibre carries out work.

As part of an agreement with North Yorkshire County Council, the works are due to be finished by 3:30pm each day.

Ripon Road: from September 8 for approximately four weeks




From Wednesday this week, Northern Gas Networks has said it is carrying out "essential work to upgrade the gas network" on Ripon Road.

Throughout the planned four-week project, temporary traffic lights will be in place opposite the Co-op filling station.

Scott Kitchingman, business operations manager for Northern Gas Networks, said:

“We would like to apologise in advance for any inconvenience caused during these essential works. However, it is vital we complete them in order to continue to maintain a safe and reliable gas supply to the residents of Harrogate."


Skipton Road near the roundabout with Ripon Road: until June 2022




Works are also ongoing on Skipton Road, near the roundabout with Ripon Road.

North Yorkshire County Council is carrying out full construction work, including bridge dismantling and waterworks, as part of a project to replace the Oakbeck road bridge and footbridge with a new culvert.

Multi-way signals are due to be in place, which may cause further delays nearby to the Ripon Road gas works.
