Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.
Roads
Traffic is moving as normal during rush hour this morning, with the usual queues on Wetherby Road, Knaresborough Road and Skipton Road.
However, motorists should be aware of 10 weeks of roadworks in Harrogate which started yesterday.
As previously reported, Northern Gas Networks is carrying out the work to replace ageing pipework. Work has started with temporary lights on Cold Bath Road.
Further gas works will see road closures and temporary traffic lights on many of the main routes into town, including Ripon Road and Kings Road just as children return to school.
A road closure is in place on Oakdale in Harrogate until September 5 as Northern Gasworks carries out work in the area.
Meanwhile, temporary lights remain on Ripon’s Clotherholme Road as the company carries out replacement work to gas pipes.
The lights will remain in place until Monday.
Trains and buses
Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal this morning.
Meanwhile, the Harrogate Bus Company is reporting cancellations on its 1A, 1B, 1C and 36 services this morning.
You can find out more on the disruption to services here.
