Five weeks of gas works to start on Harrogate's Skipton Road in New Year
Traffic lights will be in place at busy junctions on Skipton Road in Harrogate at the start of the New Year.
Northern Gas Networks will install temporary lights at the junctions with Knox Avenue, Bilton Grange Close and Skipton Crescent while it replaces metal pipes with plastic ones.
The company will begin the upgrade at January 4 at the junction with Knox Avenue. This will see three-way temporary traffic lights in place for two weeks.
From January 17, the lights will be moved to Bilton Grange Close where two-way lights will be placed at the junction of Skipton Road for a further week.
