Flood-hit road near Ripon set to reopen on Friday
A flood-hit road near Ripon is expected to reopen to traffic on Friday.
A section of Dishforth Road on Sharow Lane closed on Monday following a burst water main.
The incident caused some of the carriageway to collapse, leaving a hole in the road.
It means motorists travelling to and from Ripon and up to the A1 are having to use alternative routes along Berrygate Lane and New Road at Sharow and through Copt Hewick to avoid the blockage while workmen carry out repair work.

The road remains closed today but a Yorkshire Water spokesperson said:
“A team was sent to Dishforth Road to complete a repair following a leak.
"The repairs are underway, and we expect the road to be reinstated and opened on Friday.
"We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused we thank customers for their patience.”
