A £25million highways project set to transform the area around the city’s Corn Exchange building and improve the bus network has been progressing at pace since last year.

For the past 11 months, work has progressed at pace to demolish and rebuild the southern bridge section of Regent Street Flyover and the project is now entering the next phase where the northern bridge will be taken down and rebuilt.

Building on the transport conversation in previous years and the extensive work completed in the city centre over the past 12 months, notably the Headrow and Park Row improvements, senior councillors in Leeds will discuss an update on continuing work to transform transport and travel in and around the city centre at a meeting next week.

After 18 months of construction, a multi-million pound Connecting Leeds scheme which is set to transform one of the city’s busiest streets is close to completion as work to resurface the road starts.

Leeds businesses are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to trial an electric-cargo bike for their deliveries.

A major milestone has been hit on the Connecting Leeds Headrow scheme as the first trees have been planted on Dortmund Square.
