Drivers face 10 weeks of Harrogate roadworks from Tuesday
Drivers face 10 weeks of roadworks in Harrogate starting from Tuesday.
Work is being carried out by Northern Gas Networks to replace ageing pipework with plastic pipes.
It will see road closures and temporary traffic lights on many of the main routes into town, including Ripon Road, Kings Road and Cold Bath Road just as children return to school.
Work will take 10 weeks from August 30.
Northern Gas Networks said in a statement that although most work will be carried out on the road, engineers will need access to customer properties to complete the project and ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas.
The work will include:
- A lane closure will be introduced on Crescent Road between Montpellier Road and Parliament Street along with four-way lights on Crescent Road, Parliament Street, Ripon Road and Kings Road from Monday September 5 for two weeks.
- A road closure will be implemented on Montpellier Road between Crescent Road and The Ginnel from Monday September 19 for two weeks.
- Two-way and three-way lights on Cold Bath Road from Monday October 3 for five weeks, manned between 7am and 7pm.
- A road closure will be introduced on Wellington Square from Monday October 17, in place for two weeks.
