Construction plans are underway for the main road, A59 between Harrogate and Skipton. Prone to frequent landslips, the stretch is notorious for unplanned road closures and the government now plans to invest £56 million to develop a new route that will replace this section.
The North Yorkshire County Council has recently been working alongside local residents to devise a scheme that will have a minimal negative impact on the local community and environment nearby.
Due to open in 2025, this new project is estimated to cost £68 million, with the remaining funding paid by the council.
