Leeds Road reopens fully after four weeks of resurfacing
Leeds Road in Harrogate has reopened fully after four weeks of evening closures for resurfacing.
North Yorkshire County Council's highways team worked on the stretch of road between Beech Avenue in Harrogate and Princess Royal Way in Pannal.
It will come as a relief to drivers who have been forced to use an eight-mile diversion between 6.30pm and 11.30pm since March 29.
This is the third of three phases of resurfacing in Harrogate. Works in The Old Barber area in Bilton and Franklin Road are already complete.
The highways team used 2,500 tonnes of material and cleaned out 105 gullies. As they finished the work today, it was completed on time.
