    The latest round of roadworks on Harrogate's Skipton Roads is due to continue for more than three weeks.

    Three-way lights are in operation close to the junction with Sykes Grove.

    Although the work is taking place during the school holidays, when the road is less busy, it is still causing delays on one of Harrogate's main roads.

    Three-way lights are in place.



    Northern Gas Networks, which is responsible for distributing gas to homes and businesses, is replacing metal pipes with plastic pipes.

    Scott Kitchingman, operations manager at Northern Gas Networks, said:

    “We have been carrying out essential work to ensure the continued safe and reliable supply of gas to customers in the Skipton Road area of Harrogate and we are now on the final section of the road. We are scheduled to complete on August 25.
    “The ageing metal pipework is being replaced by new, more durable plastic pipes, to ensure a safe and reliable supply of gas to customers now while getting the network ready to transport alternative greener fuels in the future.

    Mr Kitchingman added:

    “So that engineers can carry out the work safely and efficiently, and to protect the public, some traffic management measures are in place. We have multiway lights and a lane closure for the duration of the work.
    “We apologise for any inconvenience caused; we are however working on Saturdays to try to get the work done as quickly as possible.”
