In June, Leeds Bradford Airport officially opened their new £100 million terminal expansion, while the three footbridges crossing the city’s crucial Armley Gyratory junction also opened to the public.
Meanwhile construction continues to the front entrance of Leeds City Station and work got underway on a £44 million revamp of the Dawsons Corner and Stanningley Bypass junction.
