PART of the A59 near Skipton is to be closed overnight for two nights for roadworks this week.

Highways England says the work started on Monday (May 23) between Edmundson's Lane, west of the Colne and Broughton Road roundabout on the A59 near Broughton, and the Bull Inn, at Broughton.

A spokesman said: "The work will be carried out overnight between the hours of 9pm and 5am. The eastern leg of the roundabout will be closed and any traffic on the other two legs (one towards Barnoldswick and the other towards East Marton) controlled by two-way traffic lights for two nights.

"Following this a further four nights will have three-way traffic lights in place to reinstate the white lining and anti-skid sections."

Diversions will be in place overnight during the closures and delays are likely through the traffic lights.
