Armley Gyratory: 15 stunning drone pictures as Spence Lane footbridge is lifted into place at Leeds junction

A new footbridge has been lifted into place in Leeds.

Full and partial night-time closures were in place on the Armley Gyratory last week as construction of the new Spence Lane footbridge took place.

Weighing around 50 tonnes, the main span was transported under police escort from junction 2 of the M621 on Saturday night (May 18).

The new Spence Lane footbridge is the second of three footbridges completed around the Gyratory so far.
