The works will cause some congestion but a spokesperson for the council stated: 'We’re working as fast as we can to make these improvements'
There could be more disruption in Leeds city centre as plans to pedestrianise City Square set to move onto the next phase.
The changes include King Street and Thirsk Row becoming two-way and King Street will have a new southbound 24-hour bus gate from January 8.In addition to this, there will also be no longer vehicle access to Wellington Street. Buses and taxis will have to travel via Infirmary Street and Kings Street to access Wellington Street.
Councillor Helen Hayden, Leeds City Council’s executive member for infrastructure and climate, said: “I know that no one likes road works and that they cause disruption, but they are necessary to improve our road network and keep Leeds moving. We’re working as fast as we can to make these improvements and I want to thank everyone in advance for their patience.
“King Street and Thirsk Row becoming two-way is a major change in the city centre. For road safety purposes, we’re putting in place signage and other measures to help pedestrians who should take extra care when crossing these roads.
