Three months of roadworks on A61 from Harrogate to Ripon set to begin
Roadworks are set to bring three months of disruption to motorists travelling between Ripon and Harrogate.
The A61 will be dug up as part of fibre optics company City Fibre's £46 million digital infrastructure upgrade in Harrogate, Knaresborough and Ripon.
Work has been completed in most areas. However, signs have gone up on the A61 Ripon Road warning that nighttime work will take place between April 17 and July 13.
Kim Johnston, regional partnership director at City Fibre said:
Traffic lights will be in place during these hours, and no detours are planned.
A City Fibre spokesperson added "there may be a small amount of weekend work, subject to confirmation with highways", adding:
The entire length of the A61 between Ripon and Harrogate will be affected.
