More roadworks coming to Harrogate's Skipton Road
More roadworks will begin on Harrogate's Skipton Road next week.
Highways authority North Yorkshire County Council will be carrying out improvements at the junctions with Bilton Lane and Woodfield Road.
At Bilton Lane, the pedestrian island will be removed and the island at the end of King's Road will be widened.
The left turn from Woodfield Road on to Skipton Road will change from being controlled by traffic lights to being a give way to improve traffic flow and air quality.
The lights in the traffic lights at both junctions will be replaced with more energy-efficient LED lights.

The work will begin on Monday and is due to complete on February 27, when half-term ends. However, temporary traffic lights are not expected to be required until February 19 as the initial work will take place off road.
Lights will initially be in place at the Bilton Lane junction before moving to the King's Road and Woodfield junctions.
The Stray Ferret asked the council how much the work will cost.
