All Leeds bus diversions and cancellations as Bradford Road lane closure extended

Buses travelling along Bradford Road in Pudsey are going to continue to face disruption this week.

Due to delays, works on Bradford Road towards Stanningley (the eastbound lane of the Dawsons Corner roundabout) will now be completed on Friday, October 24 - a week later than initially planned.

The number 72 bus service towards Leeds will continue to divert via Stanningley Bypass, while maintaining its usual route towards Bradford. The number 80 service towards Old Farnley will divert via Richardshaw Lane and maintain its usual route towards Owlcotes.

The works, carried out by BT Openreach, involve the demolition and rebuilding of a manhole chamber.placeholder image
