Four weeks of night-time works begin as Dawsons Corner revamp enters its final stages
The works will take place 8pm to 5am Monday to Friday
Motorists in Leeds are being warned to expect overnight disruption for the next four weeks.
Starting last night (Monday, October 12), four weeks of night-time works got underway to prepare Dawsons Corner for its final resurfacing.
It comes as the £44.1m improvement scheme enters its final stages.
The works will take place across the whole Dawsons Corner junction from 8pm to 5am Monday to Friday, with various lane closures on all approaches while remaining islands are completed and maintenance works are carried out.
Access to New Pudsey Railway Station and Owlcotes Shopping Centre will be maintained, according to the Leeds City Council-run team at Connecting Leeds.
Scheduled to be completed by Spring 2027, the revamp has seen the old roundabout removed and a new through road created.
Despite the disruption caused by the massive overhaul, Yorkshire Evening Post readers previously took to social media to praise the new look junction, calling it “much improved” and “money well spent.”
Dawsons Corner sees around 57,000 vehicles and 1,200 pedestrians and cyclists travelling through the junction each day, and it is hoped that the scheme will reduce congestion, improve safety and create better routes for all road users.
