Second set of roadworks coming to Harrogate's Otley Road
A second set of roadworks is set to bring more delays for motorists on Harrogate's Otley Road this month.
Temporary traffic lights are already in place at the junction with Harlow Moor Road, where Northern Gas Network is carrying out work until September 3.
More lights will appear slightly closer to the town centre when Northern Powergrid begins work to divert underground cables at the junction with Harlow Oval for 11 days from August 16.
These utility works are the final step before the start of the delayed Otley Road cycle lane. Phase one, which is expected to last a few months, is due to start on September 6.
The scheme will see an off-road cycle route created between Harlow Moor Road and Cold Bath Road.
The project will also require widening Otley Road on the approach to Harlow Moor Road as well as the creation of a designated left turn lane on the western approach to Harlow Moor Road and designated right turn lane on the eastern approach.
