Traffic delays on the A61 through Killinghall and Ripley
Drivers have been hit by significant traffic delays through Killinghall on the A61 today as new roadworks have been put in place.
Work has started on the A61 Ripon Road between Ripley and Killinghall.
One Stray Ferret reader contacted us to say they'd left Markington for Harrogate at 12.30pm and had only got as far as the second roundabout in Ripley where the works just over an hour later.
Drivers have also reported being stuck in long queues through Killinghall.
According to OneNetwork roadworks map, temporary traffic lights are in place as Quickline Communications, which is a broadband company, carries out "utility asset works" at Ripley roundabout.
This is due to remain in place until Wednesday, July 26.
Drivers are urged to avoid the area due to long queues.
Meanwhile, queuing traffic has also been reported at New Park roundabout in Harrogate.
According to the roadworks map, Northern Gas Networks has started repair work on Skipton Road near to New Park Academy. Temporary traffic lights are expected to be in place until August 25.
