Work is due to start today on gas works in the Harrogate area which will cause delays for drivers.

Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.

Roads

As previously reported, drivers in the Harrogate area should be aware of planned roadworks which will last for 10 weeks from today (August 30).

Northern Gas Networks is carrying out the work to replace ageing pipework. Work is due to start on Cold Bath Road today.

Further gas works will see road closures and temporary traffic lights on many of the main routes into town, including Ripon Road and Kings Road just as children return to school.

A road closure is in place on Oakdale in Harrogate until September 5 as Northern Gasworks carries out work in the area.

Meanwhile, temporary lights remain on Ripon’s Clotherholme Road as the company carries out replacement work to gas pipes.

The lights will remain in place until September 5.

Trains and buses

Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal this morning.

Meanwhile, the Harrogate Bus Company is reporting no cancellations on its services this morning.
