List of road closures announced for Tour de Yorkshire

Last year’s successful event started in the seaside town of Bridlington and worked its way through the county before concluding in Leeds.

This time around, the tour will start in the east of the county in Beverley, then proceeding 185km and finishing in the wonderful surroundings of Settle.

But an event of this scale does mean there will be considerable disruption on the roads in and around the venues that will play host to the race this year.

The list shows the disruption on Thursday 28 April and Friday 29 April
