Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.
Roads
Traffic is moving as normal during rush hour on Wetherby Road, Knaresborough Road and Skipton Road this morning.
This week, temporary traffic lights are due in place on Cold Bath Road for five weeks as Northern Gas Networks carries out maintenance work.
According to North Yorkshire County Council’s roadworks map, the measure will be in place from October 7.
Meanwhile, the A59 York Road, between Station Road and the A658 at Goldsborough, remains closed overnight until October 6.
The closure will be in place between 8pm and 5am while North Yorkshire County Council carries out resurfacing work.
A diversion will be in place via Knaresborough, Ferrensby, Minskip to Boroughbridge.
As previously reported, a main road out of Pateley Bridge will be closed for six weeks as repairs are carried out at Fellbeck bridge on the B6265.
Signs for a diversion and a temporary crossing over the river for pedestrians and cyclists are in place.
Trains and buses
Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal this morning.
However, commuters will face further industrial action on Wednesday (October 5) and next Saturday (October 8) which may affect services from Harrogate and Knaresborough.
Northern, which operates the services, has urged passengers not to travel on strike days.
The strike action comes as rail passengers have also been warned to expect disruption on Harrogate’s LNER services from October 1 until October 9.
Major engineering works in the Newcastle area by Network Rail will affect many services on the LNER route during this period.
Meanwhile, the Harrogate Bus Company is reporting cancellations on its 1A, 1B, 1C, 7 and 36 services this morning.
