A major road through Harrogate is set to be closed for patch resurfacing at the end of this month.
A section of the A61 Leeds Road will be closed for five hours from 6.30pm every day for three weeks from Tuesday, August 29.
It is to allow for patching up damaged parts of the carriageway, between the Prince of Wales roundabout and the St George's roundabout.
Confirming the closure, which its roadworks map said will last until September 18, North Yorkshire Council said:
Meanwhile, two new sets of roadworks in Harrogate are expected to be removed by the weekend.
Yorkshire Water has this week installed temporary lights on Otley Road at the junction with Cold Bath Road and Arthurs Avenue.
The roadworks, which include temporary pedestrian crossing signals, are expected to be completed tomorrow.

And a stretch of Yorkshire Water works on Leadhall Lane, close to the junction with Throstle Nest Drive, is also expected to be removed by Friday.
Works that Northern Gas Networks began on Duchy Road on Monday, however, are expected to last until August 25.
Temporary traffic lights that have been causing long queues on Skipton Road are due to end on the same date. However, further works are expected to be carried out on the road, close to the junction with Bilton Lane, in September.
