Major roadworks set to start on York Place in Harrogate

Thursday, 23 January 2025 13:33

Northern Power Grid will start work on York Place this weekend.

Major new roadworks are set to get underway on York Place in Harrogate this weekend.

The works will start on Sunday (26th January) and will run until 20th February.

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

A temporary one-way system will be introduced to accommodate the works.

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.
