Traffic is building up in Killinghall due to temporary lights in the area which may cause delays during rush hour.

Meanwhile, roadworks are still in place elsewhere across the Harrogate district.

Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.

Roads

Temporary traffic lights on the A61 near Daleside Nurseries in Killinghall are causing queues this morning.

The lights have been put in place by Yorkshire Water and will remain until October 20.

In Harrogate town centre, long-term work on Crescent Road means motorists are unable to turn left at the Parliament Street junction. Traffic coming the opposite way on Ripon Road is unable to turn right.

Work is scheduled to begin today to reconstruct the B6265 at Red Brae Bank, Bewerley, near Pateley Bridge, which suffered a landslip during storms in  February 2020.

The scheme requires the road to be closed from October 17 to December 9. A diversion will be in place via Pateley Bridge; the B6451 Dacre; Menwith Hill Road; Duck Street and Greenhow Hill village. Temporary traffic lights will be in place during the remainder of the work.

Also, lights will be installed on the B6265 at Red Brae Bank, Bewerley. The road suffered a landslip during storms in February 2020 and a weight limit has been in place since.

Details of the scheme are here.

Trains and buses

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

The Harrogate Bus Company is currently reporting cancellations on its 1, 1A, 1B, 1C, 7 and 36 services this morning. You can get updates here.
