Roads
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.
Meanwhile, 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.
Planned gas replacement works in Harrogate will be paused. It means five weeks of traffic lights on Cold Bath Road, which were initially due to take place in September, won’t happen until at least January.
Trains and buses
Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal this morning.
However, commuters are being warned of upcoming strike action on Saturday (November 5).
Northern is urging passengers not to travel on the day and to check service times on Sunday (November 6).
Further strike action is scheduled to take place on Monday (November 7) and Wednesday (November 9).
The Harrogate Bus Company is currently reporting cancellations on the 7 services this morning. You can get updates here.
There are some changes to bus timetables on the horizon, taking effect from Sunday (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.
