Motorists set to face three months of roadworks on major road between Harrogate and Ripon

CityFibre is carrying out the roadworks which will take place throughout the night as part of a £46 million digital infrastructure upgrade.

The road can still be accessed but traffic lights will be in place from 17 April till 13 July.

Kim Johnston, Regional Partnership Director at CityFibre, said: “From the 17 April, we will be starting work on the A61 between Harrogate and Ripon.

"This work will last for approximately three months and will require traffic management on one side of the road.

“CityFibre is investing £46m in transforming Harrogate and Ripon’s digital infrastructure and bringing next generation full fibre connectivity to almost every home and business in the area.

"This is a major undertaking, which is why we work closely with our build partner, local authorities and the council’s highways team to manage disruption as best we can and ensure works are delivered quickly, and always to our high standards.”
