A series of overnight closures on the A1 is set to begin tonight.
The closures are part of repairs taking place on the A1 Wentbridge Viaduct and will affect drivers heading south from the Harrogate district on the A1.
Tonight the A1 southbound will be closed between Ferrybridge and Barnsdale Bar as National Highways begins to move the contraflow currently in place on this section of road, enabling work to switch from the southbound to the northbound carriageway.
National Highways, the government company that maintains major roads, said in a statement today it would use the closures to carry out further maintenance and repairs to prevent future roadworks.
The organisation recommended drivers stay on the motorway network using the M62 and M18 for both northbound and southbound journeys where possible, and not to rely on their satnavs.
