Bingley bypass closure: Video shows cars speeding down road during mystery filming in Yorkshire
Bradford Council issued a notice saying the Bingley bypass - or Sir Fred Hoyle Way - in Bingley would be closed from 6am to 9pm on Sunday (May 16).
The notice also alarmingly said that the road could be closed for up to 18 months if necessary, but it is thought this is to allow further filming in future.

In recent weeks, both Happy Valley and Marvel's new Disney+ show Secret Invasion have both been shot in West Yorkshire.
In this video, sent in to The Yorkshire Post by @LUFC_Malch on Twitter, two black cars are seen speeding down the road side by side, with two further black cars following close behind, as well as a truck which appears to have filming equipment on the back.
All the cars have cameras attached to the front and back.
Locals who witnessed the closure said there were police and ambulance vehicles also part of the shoot.

@LUFC_Malch added on Twitter: "Caused so much traffic! It was very inconvenient!"
