Seven weeks of roadworks begin today in Harrogate
Seven weeks of roadworks are due to get underway in Harrogate town centre today.
Some of the main routes in town are likely to be subject to traffic lights and delays.
Parliament Street, Ripon Road, King’s Road and Cold Bath Road are among the roads affected.
The disruption will enable gas distributor Northern Gas Networks to replace metal pipes with plastic pipes.
Cold Bath Road could be the worst affected route, with “multiple lights” operating for five weeks.
The roadworks are the second phase of delayed works that were “paused” a year ago.
Here’s what motorists can expect.
Crescent Road lane closure and traffic lights
A lane closure will be introduced on Crescent Road and Ripon Road along with four-way lights at the junction of Crescent Road, Parliament Street, Ripon Road and Kings Road for two weeks. The existing lights will be bagged, and temporary traffic lights will be in operation from 7am to 7pm.
Montpellier Road (roundabout) & Montpellier Hill Lane closure
A lane closure will be implemented on Montpellier Road (roundabout) and Montpellier Hill Lane for two weeks.
Cold Bath Road traffic lights and parking suspensions
Multiple two and three-way lights will be introduced on Cold Bath Road for five weeks starting from Monday.
