Please note that the section of road between the Castle Howard Obelisk and Slingsby Crossroads will be closed to all through traffic on Saturday 22 July from 2pm until 5pm.
The road closure is in place to ensure the safety of competitors in the Castle Triathlon Sprint Relay.
Extensive signage will direct drivers around the closure via Ganthorpe and on to their destinations including Castle Howard and the Yorkshire Arboretum, which both will remain open as normal and signage on the day will communicate this.
Coneysthorpe crossroads will be open as a crossing point for 'through traffic' between Coneysthorpe and Terrington, in both directions.
Traffic marshals will be at all closure points to traffic manage residents and farm vehicles requiring access. Please be patient with the marshals as they may ask you to wait a few minutes before they can allow you access. Please activate your hazard warning lights and remain aware that there will be cyclists, travelling at high speed, in both directions.
If you are approaching Castle Howard or the Yorkshire Arboretum from the A64 or Welburn crossroads the road is open as normal.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
