    Harewood Bridge near Harrogate is due to close for one or two nights this week for repairs, leading to 15-mile diversions.

    Traffic was unable to cross the bridge for four weeks during the summer holidays to allow Leeds City Council to carry out maintenance work on the grade-II listed structure.

    Now the road is set to be closed overnight on Wednesday (October 18) and Thursday (October 19) between 9pm and 5.30am.

    The closure will be in place while the council upgrades the surfacing on the road.

    Cllr Matthew Robinson, who represents Harewood ward on Leeds City Council, said in a post on his Facebook page:

    “You will recall that essential maintenance works were completed on the Harewood Bridge over the summer holidays.  As part of these works a specialist contractor was required to apply a small area of upgraded surfacing at the south end of the bridge and these works were unable to be undertaken at the time but we have now been able to arrange this.   
    “We plan to do the works on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th October with overnight closures from 8pm to 5.30am. It may be that the works are completed in one night but this will depend on the weather conditions.”


    The grade-II listed structure carries the A61 Harrogate Road over the River Wharfe and is a busy route between Harrogate and Leeds.

    A diversion will be in place for drivers on the A658 Harrogate Road and A659 Arthington Lane to rejoin the A61.
