When foot and cycle paths will shut on Bradford Road as electricity cables installed

Bradford Road in Leeds is set to be hit by more travel disruption.

Footpath and cycle path closures will get underway tonight on Bradford Road, Leeds, to allow for Northern Powergrid works to take place.

Part of the wider £44 million revamp of the Dawsons Corner roundabout, works will take place from 7pm to 5am and will facilitate the installation of new electricity cables.

It comes a month after works, carried out by BT Openreach, involving the demolition and rebuilding of a manhole chamber on Bradford Road faced unexpected delays.

Pedestrian and cycle diversions will be in place throughout the closure.

Not due to be completed until early 2027, the Dawsons Corner revamp aims to reduce congestion and improve bus journey times along the busy route, which is used by over 57,000 road users daily.

Previous closures to Owlcotes Lane and the Farsley ring road, which took place earlier this month, have now been completed.
