City Square road closures: Every Leeds bus diversion and street affected in the week ahead
There will be major bus diversions through Leeds this weekend as the next phase of the City Square construction gets underway.
Starting from today (Sunday, January 8), King Street and Thirsk Row are becoming two-way as part of Leeds City Council’s plans to pedestrianise City Square. There will also no longer be vehicle access to Wellington Street – buses and taxis will need to travel via Infirmary Street and Kings Street to access Wellington Street.
A series of lane and road closures will also be in place on Thirsk Row, Wellington Street, Quebec Street and King Street, in preparation for the new changes.
