A SECTION of the Foss Islands cycle route will close for about eight weeks while pylons and overhead and underground electricity cables are replaced.
The section of the Sustrans route 658 and 66 runs between Melrosegate, Tang Hall and Metcalfe Lane, Osbaldwick.
It will be closed for safety reasons because the cables run alongside the track.
The closed section of the route will be reopened in stages as work is completed, and full diversion routes north and south will be signposted to allow users to seek alternative routes while the work is in progress.
