North Yorkshire Council has announced that the first closure will come into force this weekend (1 and 2 April), which will see it closed to traffic between 10.30am and 4pm daily, with an exemption for buses.

The trial closures were formally introduced in April 2021 after congestion during summer weekends and special events in previous years sparked safety concerns.

When the bridge is closed, seven interactive messaging signs will be in place to direct visitors to the nearest available car park.

There's more information on the unitary authority's website.
