Delays expected for motorists as work starts on Ripon bypass
Motorists can expect lengthy delays on the Ripon bypass for the next two weeks from today.
Maintenance work on the Duchess of Kent Bridge is due to start at 6pm. The work is scheduled for completion by July 10.
North Yorkshire County Council has said the works will take place overnight and finish daily at 6am, to minimise disruption to road users.
