From 26th July to the 24th August , essential repair works will be carried out to Harewood Bridge

The location of the excavations and the narrow width of the bridge mean that to carry out the works safely , the bridge will have to be closed.

There will be a signed diversion in place via

*A61 Harrogate Road

*Ring Road Moortown.

*Ring Road Meanwood

*Ring Road Adel

*A660 at Lawnswood roundabout

*A660 Otley Road

*A660 Leeds Road Bramhope to the A658 Dyneley Arms junction

*Pool Bank New Road

*Main Street Pool /Pool bridge into Huby /Weeton and through to the roundabout at Pannal – and vice versa

This will be suitable for all vehicles

We will be restricting other planned works along this route where possible to keep it free from additional obstructions and hold ups

Pedestrians and cyclists will still have access over the bridge

Additional signage will be installed on the wider approaches to warn of the closure and advise motorists to use the alternative routes

Advance warning signs are already in place at the site to inform motorists that regularly use the bridge of what to expect and when

Signs have also been placed out at strategic locations throughout the area
