Boroughbridge roadworks causing 'horrendous' delays for drivers
Residents express frustration at delays caused by three-way lights near a new development on Bridge Street.
Boroughbridge residents have expressed frustration at queues caused by temporary traffic lights on Bridge Street.
Queues on either side of the bridge have been growing in recent weeks due to the lights, which are near the development of six luxury apartments at the former HSBC building.
Three-way temporary lights have led to queues in both directions.
Locals have described the queues coming over the bridge, in the town centre and on Mill Lane as "horrendous".
One resident, Neil Macdonald, who lives within walking distance told the Stray Ferret:
"This is the second time they have been there and they cause huge queues back to the roundabout and Horsefair."
