Skipton Road: emergency roadworks cause more misery
Long queues are forming on Skipton Road as two sets of roadworks are combining to cause misery for drivers.
Works to replace a gas main underneath Roberts Crescent were already in place but Northern Gas Networks has also started repairs to fix a gas leak on Skipton Road.
It has set up three-way temporary lights on the junction opposite Bilton Lane, which is in between the junctions at both ends of Roberts Crescent.
Northern Gas Networks said works on Roberts Crescent are expected to last until May 25, while those on Skipton Road should be complete in "no more than three weeks".
On Twitter, the company apologised for the disruption and urged motorists to use other routes.

Skipton Road is one of the busiest roads in the town.
Northern Gas Networks began work replacing metal pipes with plastic ones in July last year, which was paused in October and recommenced in January. The roadworks were finally finished in April.
