    High Bridge in Knaresborough will be closed to nighttime traffic for the next 11 days from this evening due to resurfacing.

    North Yorkshire Council posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, today that the closure will be in effect from 7pm until midnight daily until Friday, November 17.

    It added a "fully signposted diversion" will be in place.

    The grade two listed bridge over the River Nidd, which passes Mother Shipton's Cave, is the main route into Knaresborough from the Starbeck direction.

    Councillor Matt Walker, a Liberal Democrat who represents Knaresborough West, said it was a standard resurfacing project and he wasn't aware of any concerns.

    But he added:

    "What the council haven't done is put new lights over the bridge yet.
    "This funding was put in place prior to us being elected and we keep getting a push back on when it will happen."
