Temporary lights on Harrogate’s Wetherby Road continue to cause delays for drivers as work enters a second day.
Yorkshire Water is working to repair a pipe in the area near to Harrogate Town AFC and said it has to put up the temporary lights in order to do so.
The work comes as a problem was first identified by the company yesterday, when it said customers in the area could be experiencing low water pressure as a result.
Temporary lights were also in place on Knaresborough Road, but the company said it expected to complete work in the area by today.

The Stray Ferret asked Yorkshire Water for an update on the works, but has yet to receive a response.
Last night, the company issued the following statement:
“We’ve experienced two burst water mains in the centre of Harrogate over the last few days.
“Our teams are working hard to minimise disruptions, but to allow them to work on the repairs safely, traffic management will be in place on Knaresborough Road and Wetherby Road.
We apologise for the inconvenience while we carry out the work.”
