Seavegate highway running through the Forge Valley from East Ayton will be closed for tree safety work this week.
The main road running through the Forge Valley will be closed to all traffic this week as the team from Raincliffe woods undertake essential tree safety work.
Seavegate will be closed from 9am to 5pm each day until Friday. As a result, Seavegate, Wallis Quarry, Old Mans Mouth and Birdwatchers car park will all be closed to the public during this time. A diversion route has been set up with North Yorkshire County Council Highways along Low Road to facilitate access to Mowthorpe and surrounding villages.
