In June, Leeds Bradford Airport celebrated the opening of their new £100 million terminal expansion, while the three footbridges crossing the city’s crucial Armley Gyratory junction were finally completed.
There was also change on Leeds's railway network, with the rail bridges over Osmondthorpe Lane and Station Road, Cross Gates both being replaced.
So as we say goodbye to 2025, here are 10 of the completed transport changes that have transformed Leeds this year...

9. Station Road rail bridge replaced
Station Road bridge, which is built over Cross Gates railway station, was demolished and rebuilt as part of a seven month plan to replace the existing 190-year-old bridge. Completing in November 2025, the bridge was reconstructed to accommodate the overhead line equipment (OLE), which will be used to power electric trains on the route. | James Hardisty
10. Otley Bridge footway reopens
The Otley Bridge footway reopened to the public on Thursday, November 20 after an extensive demolition and re-construction of the cantilever footway after it fell into disrepair. The temporary footbridge has now been removed and both riverside parks, either side of the bridge, reinstated. | LCC
