Delays of up to 10 minutes are being reported on the A61 through Killinghall.
Traffic looks to be slow from Ripley Castle then coming out of Killinghall towards Harrogate.
Roadworks are in place near Daleside Nurseries which could be contributing to the delay.
Please get in touch on 01423 276197 with any further information.

Shoppers will be able to take advantage of free buses every Sunday in January and February to give businesses in Harrogate town centre a much-needed boost.
Free buses will be available on the electric services only – on the 2, 3 and 6.
The Harrogate Business Improvement District (BID) has once again sponsored scheme, called the Sunday Freeway, after partnering with the Harrogate Bus Company in 2020 and 2019.
Tomorrow also marks the final day of Harrogate BID’s free parking initiative on Mondays to Thursdays after 3pm at the Victoria multi-storey car park.
With coronavirus cases on the rise and further restrictions on the agenda, this free service is expected to entice more visitors into Harrogate.
Back in 2019 the free Sunday buses generated a 90% rise in the number of customers travelling compared with the same period the year before.
Sara Ferguson, Harrogate BID chair and business owner, said:
“This is the third time we have partnered with our local bus operator, and on both previous occasions it helped to increase the number of passengers.
“This year, we have chosen January and February, which can be quiet months for the retail and hospitality sectors.
“Harrogate town centre is well worth a visit at any time of the year, and we hope the added incentive of free bus travel will make it even more appealing.”

The Harrogate Bus Company CEO Alex Hornby said:
Live: Harrogate district traffic and travel“We’re delighted that Harrogate BID are able to again work in partnership with us to support our ‘Sunday Freeway’ on our Harrogate electrics buses.
“Free Sunday travel on our pioneering Harrogate electrics buses will make it easier to support our local economy and help keep our town’s traders in business into 2022.
“It’s been an incredibly challenging time for Harrogate’s businesses, with previous lockdowns and now the prospect of further restrictions.
“More than ever, it’s now up to us all to support them in the vital first few months of the New Year by taking advantage of free travel on Harrogate electrics buses.”
Good morning everyone, it’s Connor back with you to take you through to Christmas with traffic and travel updates on this cold Wednesday morning.

Good morning, I’m back for the last time this week with all the road delays, traffic hotpots and public transport issues.
It’s cold and icy this morning so take care on the road. Also, just as a head’s up, I had to de-frost my car this morning so may be worth leaving a little extra time.
As always, if you spot anything, let me know on 01423 276197. Let’s help everyone have a smooth journey today.
