Motorists in the East Riding are being advised to check before they travel as there will be a number of temporary road closures ahead of the Yorkshire 2019 Para-Cycling International later this month.
On Saturday, 21 September, some of the world’s top para-cyclists will be taking part in the race, which for the first time is taking place alongside the UCI Road World Championships.
Around 60 athletes are expected to leave Saturday Market in Beverley at around 12noon and race through Bishop Burton, Market Weighton, Holme on Spalding Moor, Foggathorpe and Bubwith on their way to the finish line in Harrogate.
In order to ensure the safety of the athletes and spectators, a number of temporary road closures will be in place on the day so motorists are advised to plan their route and check timings before they travel.
