A busy 2023 for transport related changes saw the completion of the pedestrianisation of City Square, while Leeds Bradford Airport unveiled its new and improved Check-in Hall A.
So far in 2024, we’ve seen Apperley Road reopen following flood prevention works, while Mayor Tracy Brabin made a landmark decision to franchise West Yorkshire’s bus network.
Elsewhere roadworks continue around the Armley Gyratory, while construction work on the highly-anticipated White Rose station has been halted over cost concerns.
So as we enter June and hit the halfway mark in the year, we prepare to look forward and back.
Here are 8 of the biggest Leeds transport changes in 2024 so far - and 7 more still on the way...
