Long-term roadworks to affect villages near Knaresborough
Roadworks are to cause major disruption to two villages near Knaresborough for several weeks at the start of next year.
Utilities company Power On is to install power cables for a 600,000 square feet business park near Flaxby called Harrogate 47 close to junction 47 of the A1(M). The park could support 2,000 jobs.
The project is expected to last six months and involve five weeks of road closures, starting on January 9, in Flaxby and Coneythorpe.
Power On said in a statement it had conducted "extensive consultation" to minimise disruption.
Work will start on York Road in Flaxby and continue onto Shortsill Lane and Moor Lane. It will take place from January 9 to 28 before recommencing on February 22 until March 14.
Diversions will be in place to minimise disruption.
Power On said in a statement it was "committed to delivering essential works whilst ensuring minimal disruption to local residence and the community". It added:
The company added residents affected by the road closures "will be able to access via the diversion routes which have been previously agreed and signposted".
