All 15 major Leeds roads set to be closed or diverted for HS2 demolition

Planning has begun for the Speed High speed rail network HS2 and the construction could affect several roads in Leeds.

These are just some of the roads set to be closed or diverted for HS2 development if the rail network goes ahead as planned, according to the planning documents issued by HS2 themselves. Some of these roads will close permanently when HS2 goes ahead, while others will be diverted during the years of construction and demolition work.
