Roadworks at the junction of Otley Road and Ripon Road in Killinghall are to continue for an extra week.
Long queues either side of the village have been a regular site since temporary traffic lights were installed on Monday.
Northern Powergrid wrote to nearby residents before the scheme began saying work would last 10 days until Friday 4 while it excavated a trench and laid cables beneath the pavement outside the Tesco being built on Ripon Road.
But residents have not been informed of further work due to take place from February 7 to 11.
According to the North Yorkshire County Council’s roadworks map, broadband and water works will begin once the current work has ended.
The work by Openreach and Yorkshire Water will again involve three-way traffic lights, which are likely to cause more delays to motorists.

A spokesperson for Openreach said:
“We have some minor works taking place between 7 and 9 February. This is to lay around 30 metres of underground ducting. To enable our engineers to work safely, we will require temporary traffic lights.
“We will work as quickly as we can do and make every attempt to co-ordinate the timing of our work with other companies to keep disruption to a minimum.”
Traffic in Killinghall this week has been described as “chaos”, with tailbacks of up to two miles reported during rush hours.
