Two miles of heavy traffic between Harrogate and RipleyDrivers experienced two miles of bumper to bumper traffic on Ripon Road between Harrogate and Ripley this morning due to construction works.
There are two-way temporary lights near Ripley which came online at 8am but they are due to come down later today at 3pm.
It is unclear what works are taking place but they have been approved by North Yorkshire County Council.
The majority of congestion was heading northbound. At around 9am this morning cars queued from New Park roundabout to Ripley.
