Roadworks on a main route near Pateley Bridge are set to start today which may cause delays for drivers.
Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.
Roads
Traffic is moving as normal in the Harrogate district during rush hour this morning.
However, some roadworks on key routes across the district are set to start.
Work to reconstruct the B6265 at Red Brae Bank, Bewerley, near Pateley Bridge, is expected to start today.
The scheme requires the road to be closed and 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.
It was expected that the work will be carried out until December 9.
Meanwhile, roadworks are also set to be implemented on Wetherby Road in Harrogate from Monday as temporary traffic lights are put in place.
According to North Yorkshire County Council’s roadworks map, maintenance work will be carried out by Northern Gas Networks until October 28.
Motorists should be aware of temporary traffic lights on Skipton Road.
North Yorkshire County Council is carrying out work to replace light columns on the road. According to the authority’s roadworks map, the lights will be in place until October 25.
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.
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 1B, 1C and 36 services this morning. You can get updates here.
