Motorists should be aware of roadworks at Knaresborough which are causing delays during rush hour.
Here is your Stray Ferret traffic update.
Roads
Roadworks in Knaresborough are causing delays for drivers during the morning rush hour.
Yesterday, motorists reported queues of more than an hour on the A59 near the junction with the A658.
Yorkshire Water has put in place four-way traffic lights as it lays a new water main for a housing development.
The lights will remain in place until November 11. Drivers are urged to allow extra time if using the route this morning.
Meanwhile, work to reconstruct the B6265 at Red Brae Bank, Bewerley, near Pateley Bridge, is ongoing.
The scheme requires the road to be closed and a diversion will be in place via Pateley Bridge; the B6451 Dacre; Menwith Hill Road; Duck Street and Greenhow Hill village. Temporary traffic lights will be in place during the remainder of the work.
Also, lights will be installed on the B6265 at Red Brae Bank, Bewerley. The road suffered a landslip during storms in February 2020 and a weight limit has been in place since.
It was expected that the work will be carried out until December 9.
Meanwhile, roadworks are also set to be implemented on Wetherby Road in Harrogate from Monday as temporary traffic lights are put in place.
According to North Yorkshire County Council’s roadworks map, maintenance work will be carried out by Northern Gas Networks until October 28.
In Harrogate town centre, long-term work on Crescent Road means motorists are unable to turn left at the Parliament Street junction. Traffic coming the opposite way on Ripon Road is unable to turn right.
Trains and buses
Northern services between Harrogate and Knaresborough going to York and Leeds are scheduled to run as normal this morning.
The Harrogate Bus Company is currently reporting cancellations on the 7 services this morning. You can get updates here.
