Knaresborough viaduct repairs 'unlikely' to be done this year

Tuesday, 12 May 2026 07:19

Pavement below Knaresborough Viaduct collapsed earlier this year.

Repair work on Knaresborough's viaduct terrace is unlikely to take place this year, according to North Yorkshire Council.

Matt Walker, North Yorkshire Councillor for Knaresborough West, has been in contact with the Council regarding reparation work.

It follows a partial landslip of the pavement that occurred in February, causing disruption to trains.

Cllr Walker said he is “disappointed” by the news.

A North Yorkshire Council spokesperson said:

"Initial survey work will be undertaken shortly.

"This will be followed by detailed design work, after which approval will be required from both Network Rail and the Environment Agency before any works can commence.

“Unless ground conditions prove favourable, it is currently unlikely that the works will be able to start on site this year.”

They added:

“In the meantime, we continue to monitor the situation closely and have worked with the boat operator to put a cordon in place to keep vessels away from the affected area.

“Further updates will be provided once the survey and design stages have been completed."
