Traffic and Travel Alert: Harrogate district update
A wet morning and another day of rail strikes are likely to cause problems for people getting around this morning.
Another day of strikes on the rail network means no trains on the Harrogate and Knaresborough line.
Roadworks are affecting several key routes in Harrogate, Ripon and Knaresborough. The wet condition are also likely to cause problems.
Roads
Delays are likely due to roadworks at York Place in Harrogate. according to North Yorkshire County Council's live roadworks map.
Roadworks are also scheduled for Duchy Road and the lane closure remains in place at Crescent Road.
The roadworks on Dragon Road are due to be in place until Friday.
Delays are also expected due to work outside the Curious Cow pub, where Otley Road meets Skipton Road.
The A59 York Road, between Station Road and the A658 at Goldsborough, remains closed overnight until October 6. A diversion will be in place.
The closure will be in place while North Yorkshire County Council carries out resurfacing work. The council website says the work will be carried out between 8pm and 5am but one reader told us yesterday it was until 6am.
At Blossomgate in Ripon, work is due to take place to replace and reset the kerb and improve the road.
Trains and buses
There are no Northern trains today due to a rail strike.
The company is not operating trains today and says there will be "a very limited service on Saturday and customers are advised not to travel" when another strike is planned.
Services are also expected to be affected on Sunday, especially in the morning.
The Harrogate Bus Company has produced a guide to alternative travel on strike days. You can read it here.
