A main route to Leeds Bradford Airport will be closed overnight during May half-term.

The road closure will be in place between the Pool Bank and Dyneley Arms junction and the airport itself from next Monday (May 18).

Work will be carried out Monday to Friday, between 7pm and 6am, and is expected to go on until Friday, May 29. Work beginning at 7pm on Fridays will continue through to 6am on Saturdays.

Harrogate district schools break up for half-term next Friday (May 22).

Notifying social media users of the closure, Leeds Bradford said:

Traffic will be diverted via the A660 at Bramhope, towards Lawnswood roundabout and on to the Leeds Ring Road, then via Horsforth roundabout to the A65 and through Yeadon before reaching the airport.

People can also travel via Otley using the A65 towards Yeadon.

Leeds Bradford, which urged people to allow extra time to travel to the airport, added:

A signed diversion route will be in operation, and journeys from North Yorkshire, the North East and Wetherby may take up to 30 minutes longer than usual.
