Live: Harrogate traffic and travel
Good morning the road closure of Wetherby Road between Masham Close and Hookstone Road remains in place today. Watch out for traffic on surrounding roads, ring us with any delays on 01423 276197.
Good morning and welcome to a new week. It's Suzannah here with you this morning giving you updates every 15 minutes on the road and rail links near you.
These blogs, brought to you by The HACS Group, are to keep the Harrogate district moving in the morning.
As well as any slow moving traffic I'll also let you know where temporary traffic lights are in place and any bus or train delays.
Let me know if you experience any delays on social media or ring, if it is safe, on 01423 276197.
