A busy Leeds route that has seen 172 casualties in just five years will be improved with £10.4m of funding, as construction work started this week.
The A660 Otley Road, Headingley Lane and Woodhouse Lane have faced a high number of road deaths since at least 2016. That's why Leeds City Council, with cash from Active Travel England, is planning to boost safety while providing alternative travel options for people in the city.
Details of the phased work are available via a recent council consultation. Traffic management will be in operation whilst the works are carried out, and disruption will be kept to a minimum, but the council said there will inevitably be delays. When temporary road closures are in operation, diversion routes will be signed.
