Temporary traffic lights near Killinghall set to last another four weeks
Four-way traffic lights near Killinghall which have caused lengthy delays for motorists are set to last for another four weeks.
The roadworks at the roundabout near the Curious Cow at Oaker Bank are due to continue until February 17.
It comes as Express Utilities is carrying out work to install utility infrastructure for a nearby housing development.
The company has placed temporary traffic lights on the junction with Skipton Road while the work is carried out.
The works have caused delays for motorists, particularly during morning rush hour traffic.
In a statement, a spokesperson for Express Utilities said it was “supplying extra resources” to the works from January 23 in an effort to complete the work before February 17.
The company said:
“We appreciate that this type of work can cause inconvenience to members of the public and we will do all we can to minimise any disruption as far as practicable.
“As suggested, we will complete the works as soon as possible whilst keeping the traffic flowing as much as possible, maintaining the safety of our operatives and the public as our number one priority.”
