North Yorkshire Council have called off the works at Spital Bridge due to the effects of the Langdale fire.
They released the following statement:
'Due to the ongoing wildfire on Langdale Moor, the planned junction improvement works to the A171 Spital Bridge junction in Whitby have been postponed.
'We will provide an update on these works in due course.'
There are still a number of road closures mainly between Whitby and Scarborough due to heavy smoke from the blaze, which is now 20 days old.
This is the Coast is committed to providing a daily local news service for the Yorkshire Coast. We are a small locally owned and operated business which employs professional journalists and reporters. We do not receive any public funding or grants and we are entirely funded by our local commercial operations. We enjoy fabulous support from local businesses who work with us on their advertising and marketing campaigns, but the cost of providing high quality, well researched, fact checked local news coverage is significant.
If you appreciate what This is the Coast does, and would like to help support our journalism, please consider supporting us on a monthly basis today.
A small contribution from all our readers would really help support independent journalism for the Yorkshire Coast.
