Leeds Road closes in evenings from tonight for repairs
Leeds Road will be closed in the evenings for a month to allow for carriageway repairs.
The road will be closed from Princess Royal Way in Pannal to Beech Avenue in Harrogate from tonight until April 30 excluding bank holidays.
To minimise disruption the resurfacing work will be carried out between 6.30pm and 11.30pm.
An eight mile diversion will be in place for the duration of the repairs. Drivers will be sent on the A658 John Metcalf Way on then onto Wetherby Road and York Place.
North Yorkshire County Council is behind the plans and has warned that it may restrict vehicle access to people who live on the stretch of road.

Pedestrians will be able to still use the pavements while works are ongoing.
It is possible that some adjustment to this start date or the duration of the works may be necessary.
This is part of a wider programme of carriageway repairs which started with the first phase in the Old Barber area of Bilton at the start of March. Leadhall Lane is also due for resurfacing work this year.
The Franklin Road area repairs also started just over a week ago and that it is due to finish in early April.
