Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.

Roads

Drivers should be aware of an upcoming overnight road closure between the A61 roundabout and Harewood Bridge, which will be put in place tomorrow (December 1).

The closure will be in place between 8pm and 6am to allow for principal inspections of the bridge.

A diversion will be in place via the A658 and A659 Otley Road.

It will also mean the 36 bus between Leeds and Harrogate will miss stops at Walton Head Lane, Kirbyoverblow, Rigton Lane, Dunkeswick Lane, Harewood Bar and Harewood Bridge.

The closure will remain in place until December 6.

National Highways is set to carry out patching repairs on the southbound carriageway between junction 49 (Dishforth) and junction 51 (Leeming Bar) from today until mid-December.

According to the organisation, during full closures a local signed diversion will be in place using the A6055 which runs parallel to the A1.

Meanwhile, ongoing works on Station Road in Goldsborough may cause delays for drivers.

Station Road in the village is closed while a new electrical supply is installed for a new housing development.

The work is due to continue until December 16. Bus services through the village have also been diverted as a result of the roadworks.

Motorists should expect the usual traffic on Harrogate’s Wetherby Road, Knaresborough Road and Skipton Road this morning.

Trains and buses

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

Harrogate Bus Company is currently reporting no cancellations on its service this morning. You can get updates here.
