Roadworks lead to long queues on A59 near Knaresborough
Queues of more than an hour have been reported as motorists try to navigate roadworks on the edge of Knaresborough.
Four-way traffic lights are in place to allow Yorkshire Water to carry out work on the A59 near the junction with the A658.
However, they have been leading to long tailbacks, especially at peak times. Drivers have reported queues all the way back to the junction of the A1M and beyond.
Harrogate Bus Company said its 21 service between Knaresborough and Boroughbridge has also been caught up in the delays.

Works in the area began at the start of October, but recently moved to the roundabout.
A spokesperson for Yorkshire Water said the queues had eased today, adding:
The works in the area are scheduled to continue until November 11.
