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. The stretch has now been shut to general traffic and fully pedestrianised, with Leeds City Council promising the changes will help to improve journey times for public transport in the city centre.
Elsewhere roadworks continue to redevelop Armley Gyratory while Leeds Bradford Airport unveiled its new and improved Check-in Hall A.
So as we look back at 2023, here are 15 of the biggest transport projects that have changed how we travel around Leeds this year...
13. Leeds City Station
While not due to be fully completed until 2025, the £46.1 million Leeds station redesign work is well underway. This has seen the station's taxi rank moved to Princes Square with New Station Street now closed to all traffic. Photo: LCC
14. Bus service changes
A host of Leeds buses have faced services changes this year, including the highly publicised Number 9 White Rose route which has been axed, only to be saved by another operator twice. Photo: James Hardisty
15. Apperley Road
A six month road closure is in place on Apperley Road, between Apperley Lane Bridge and Harrogate Road Bridge, to allow for flood prevention works near the George and Dragon pub. Photo: James Hardisty
16. A6120 Broadway
In July, the A6120 Broadway between Fink Hill and Horsforth roundabout was closed to traffic in both directions, to allow for the first phase of carriageway resurfacing. Photo: LCC
