In a post to their Facebook page, the Leeds City Council-run team at Connecting Leeds said: “Closure 9pm Sat to 9am Sun, Oct 20 to carry out repairs to existing manhole chamber. Follow signed diversion in place.

“Access will be maintained from Rodley Roundabout and footways will remain open. We apologise for any inconvenience in advance.”

Last week, a series of night-time closures took place along the route to allow for highway surfacing and reduced traffic management.

It comes as part of ongoing works to widen the existing carriageway and improve connectivity between communities north and south of the ring road.

There will also be new and improved pedestrian and cycle facilities between the two roundabouts linking to the facilities at Fink Hill.
