Harewood Bridge to be closed for repairs for four weeks
Harewood Bridge near Harrogate will close for four weeks this summer.
The bridge will close from July 26 until August 24 for essential maintenance work to be carried out.
The grade-II listed structure carries the A61 Harrogate Road over the River Wharfe and is a busy route between Harrogate and Leeds.
Leeds City Council is closing the bridge to carry out waterproofing, resurfacing and footpath repair works.
Cllr Helen Hayden, the council's executive member for infrastructure and climate, said:
The footway across the bridge will remain open throughout the work.
A diversion route will be in place during the work from Otley Road, Arthington Lane, Main Street, Pool Bridge, Harrogate Road, Swindon Lane and onto Harrogate Road.
The same route will be in place in the opposite direction.
