A bridge over a railway line in Leeds is set to be closed for nine months from today.
The A656 Ridge Road Bridge, between Garforth and Micklefield, will be replaced between March 2 and December 4 as part of the Transpennine Route Upgrade’s programme of improvements to deliver more frequent, faster and greener trains.
Bus service 175 will divert via Church Lane, Great North Road and Selby Road for the duration of these works, while stops 45010139 and 45010138 Hallfield Avenue on Church Lane will not be served.
Meanwhile, Asket Drive, Seacroft will be closed due to roadworks from Wednesday, March 4 to Friday, March 6 between 9am and 3pm each day. Service 50A is diverting via Boggart Hill Drive and Kentmere Avenue to resume route at North Parkway.
Neville Street in Leeds city centre remains affected by narrow lanes until further notice. Services 200, 201, 202 and 203 towards Leeds are diverting via Great Wilson Street, Meadow Lane and Briggate.
Elsewhere, bus stop 45010914 Merrion C remains out of use until further notice, as a result of ongoing works on Woodhouse Lane. While service PR1 will continue to not serve stop 45025848 Wellington N on Whitehall Road due to ongoing pedestrian works.
Long-term disruption to Dawsons Corner and Stanningley Bypass will remain in place until early 2027.
