Traffic is moving well across the Harrogate district this morning.
However, some long term roadworks remain in place on main routes in the district.
Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.
Roads
Roadworks on the A658 Harrogate Road at Huby have been extended and the road will be closed today between 9.30am and 3pm.
The work is being carried out by North Yorkshire County Council to resurface the road. The council said the breakdown of an asphalt plant has led to the extension.

The road will be reopened tomorrow with stop and go signs in place.
Traffic lights on the A59 York Road near the junction with the A658 in Knaresborough are due to remain in place until November 11.
Yorkshire Water has installed four-way traffic lights as it lays a new water main for a housing development.
Drivers are urged to allow extra time if using the route this morning.
Work to reconstruct the B6265 at Red Brae Bank, Bewerley, near Pateley Bridge, is ongoing.
The road is closed and a diversion is 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.
Fell Beck Bridge remains closed for works until November 6, with a diversion in place via Burnt Yates and Summerbridge.
Trains and buses
This morning, Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal.
Planned strike action today and Wednesday was suspended by the RMT union.
Meanwhile, Harrogate Bus Company has put in place some changes to its services as of November 6.
Most of these are minor, but in a more significant change, the 36 will no longer offer ‘neighbourhood journeys’ from Bilton and Jennyfield to Leeds.
The bus company said this is down to low passenger numbers. Passengers can still get tickets through to Leeds if they start their journeys on the 2A, 2B or 3.
Check the full details on the Harrogate Bus Company website.
The bus company is currently reporting cancellations on its 1, 1B and 1D services this morning. You can get updates here.
