NYC Highways : Forewarned is Forearmed
Please see below the details of the utility improvement schemes scheduled for delivery on Harrogate’s highway network in 2026. As always, dates and timescales are subject to change depending on the individual projects.
The list below shows that Harrogate continues to experience significant demand on its highway network. The Highways team remains in regular communication with utility project leads and, by working closely with the communications representatives for each scheme, aims to support improved collaboration and ensure consistent messaging and updates for Harrogate residents.
Updates will continue to be provided throughout the year (the next update is planned for March/April). In the meantime, if site‑specific information is required, this can be found at: Causeway one.network.
