A SECTION of the busy A59 at West Marton, near Skipton, is due to be closed later this week for resurfacing.

The stretch of Gisburn Road, at West Marton crossroads, is due to be closed from Wednesday (October 23) up to possibly November 11, according to North Yorkshire Council's online roadworks map.

It will be a full closure, with work due to take place on weekdays between the hours of 9.30am and 3.30pm. Diversions will be in place says the council.
