    Lane closures and a 50mph speed limit are being introduced to a stretch of the A1 that passes through the Harrogate district.

    National Highways is to carry out patching repairs on the southbound carriageway between junction 49 (Dishforth) and junction 51 (Leeming Bar) from Tuesday next week until mid-December.

    According to a press release today by National Highways, during full closures a local signed diversion will be in place using the A6055 which runs parallel to the A1.

    Access to properties and businesses will be maintained at all times. Those affected will be contacted directly.

    National Highways project manager Ted Chamberlain said:

    “This work will ensure that we continue to provide our customers with a safe, smooth carriageway. We’ll be working overnight using a combination of full closures and lane closures. This will minimise disruption to the peak traffic flows during the day.
    “When lane closures are in place there will be a 50mph speed restriction to protect road users and our workers. We advise drivers to anticipate delays and allow extra time for their journeys.”


    National Highways is the government-owned company responsible for maintaining England’s motorways and major A roads.
