Service 74 is also set to be diverted via Stanningley Bypass and Richardshaw Lane as the next stage of works at Dawsons Corner get underway.

Bus stop 45010914 Merrion C also remains out of use in Leeds city centre, as a result of ongoing works on Woodhouse Lane, and service PR1 will continue to not serve stop 45025848 Wellington N on Whitehall Road due to pedestrian works. Neville Street will also continue to be affected by roadworks until Monday, April 20.

Long term closures to A656 Ridge Road Bridge, between Garforth and Micklefield, and Austhorpe Lane Bridge will remain in place until December.

In a welcome boost to city services, New Temple Gate in Halton and Valley Road in Kippax have reopened with services resuming their normal routes.
