Harewood Bridge set to close for repairs from July
Drivers on a main route in and out of Harrogate will face disruption this summer when Harewood Bridge closes in July.
Leeds City Council is planning to carry out resurfacing and maintenance work to the grade-II listed structure.
The bridge carries the A61 Harrogate Road over the River Wharfe and is a busy route between Harrogate and Leeds.
The move is expected to see the structure closed during the school holidays. However, a specific date and timeframe has yet to be confirmed.
A spokesperson for Leeds City Council said:
“The latest position is that we intend to carry out these important repairs during the school holiday period starting at the end of July, to minimise any disruption.
“We are currently reviewing all options and will be consulting widely including with North Yorkshire County Council, parish councils and other key stakeholders on our proposals and the diversionary routes required.
"Once a timetable is confirmed we will be updating the local communities with as much notice as possible so residents and businesses can plan ahead.”
