    Drivers are set for six weeks of delays near Pateley Bridge when a road closure is put in place at Fellbeck bridge.

    North Yorkshire County Council is set to carry out repairs at the bridge on the B6265 from Monday, September 26.

    The work on the bridge, which is next to the Half Moon Inn in Fellbeck, will include replacing the existing road with a new surface to strengthen the existing three masonry bridge arches.

    The stone walls of the bridge will also be dismantled and rebuilt on both elevations.

    A statement for the council added:

    “A signed diversion will be in place for traffic with a temporary crossing put in place over the river for the full duration of the works to allow pedestrians and cyclists to cross.
    “Apologies for any inconvenience.”
