New York Road Tunnel, located just outside the city centre and on Leeds inner ring road, closed to all vehicles on Monday, February 12 until the autumn to enable essential maintenance of the New York Road Flyover.
Leeds City Council along with construction partner Balfour Beatty will carry out repair works and replace 27 bearings on New York Road Flyover.
During the closure, pedestrians and cyclists can safely cross Marsh Lane under the flyover, managed by the on-site construction team. Photo: James Hardisty
Older bridges, such as the New York Road Flyover, require substantial temporary works with heavy equipment including temporary foundations to support the bridge at each bearing. Photo: James Hardisty
