Traffic chaos as roadworks begin on key Harrogate road

Monday, 27 January 2025 11:05

Roadworks have started on York Place in Harrogate.

New roadworks are now underway on a key Harrogate road, causing major disruption for motorists.

Northern Power Grid (NPG) is working on York Place, including the Prince of Wales Roundabout, to upgrade the electricity network in Harrogate.

The works will remain until 20th February, with a temporary one-way system in place.

A North Yorkshire Council spokesperson said:

“We will ensure the co-ordination of all works are under constant review and any impacts will be communicated effectively in advance of any traffic management set up.”

York Place will also undergo resurfacing work in March - but the Council has said this will be done overnight, to ensure impact is kept to a minimum.

Northern Power Grid will also be working on Ripon Road and Jennyfield Drive in the coming weeks.

Both Ripon Road and Jennyfield Drive will be closed with a signed diversion in place from 24th February until 31st March.

Pedestrian access will be maintained at all times.
