A Leeds City Council spokesperson said: "The bridge is planned to be closed from 9am to 4pm on Sunday, November 24 to allow a routine structural safety inspection to be undertaken by a specialist underbridge unit.
“The inspection is planned for the daytime to minimise any noise from the equipment used in the works and to allow the inspection to be undertaken in a safe manner in daylight.
