The multi-million pound Connecting Leeds scheme aims to turn Leeds into an environmentally sustainable city where in years to come residents will not require the need for a car. One of the largest alterations has been to the City Square space near Leeds station, which is still set to officially complete this year.
Elsewhere a number of new rail stations are set to be completed before the year is out, while in Easter, Leeds Bradford Airport unveiled its newly refurbished check-in Hall A upgrade, which saw the installation of 14 self-service kiosks and hybrid self-service automated bag drops, as well as four self-service check-in e-gates.
Here are eight of the biggest transport projects still to come in Leeds during 2023...
