    Roadworks have closed the B6265 from Eavestone to Bishopton, leading to lengthy diversions approaching Ripon from the west.

    The main road into Ripon from Pateley Bridge has closed due to roadworks, forcing motorists to take a lengthy diversion into the city.

    Work on the B6265 prompted the closure of the road from Eavestone to Bishopton, which is the main western approach to Ripon and includes traffic for Fountains Abbey and Studley Park.

    Work started yesterday and is scheduled to continue until Friday next week.

    One Stray Ferret reader got in touch to say he hadn't seen any signs in advance warning of the work and was therefore forced to turn around near Sawley when he encountered it. This meant his usual seven-minute journey into the city took over 30 minutes.

    The Stray Ferret contacted North Yorkshire County Council, which is the highways authority, for further details of the work and to inquire whether warnings were issued in advance.

    We did not receive a response by the time of publication but the council's interactive roadworks map states.

    "Highway resurfacing works along the B6265 between Ripon and Eavestone. Road closure in force however access for residential and businesses will be made available wherever possible.
    "The works will be phased to allow a shorter diversion via Sawley/Ripley for the most part of the works.
    "There are a number of other road closures around Ripon city centre this week. Including Luncarr Lanne in Copt Hewick for resurfacing works, this road will reopen Friday afternoon."
