The Headrow: Full bus diversions as crucial Leeds city centre route to shut for weekend resurfacing

The Headrow, located at the heart of Leeds city centre, will be closed due to resurfacing works from 7am Saturday, March 8 to 8pm on Sunday, March 9.

Bus services 5, 14, 15, 19, 19A, 49, 50, 50A, 72 and X6 will be diverted from their normal routes, while bus stops Civic O 45010662, Civic P 45032131, Headrow J 45012385 and Headrow R 45032354 will be out of operation for the duration.

A Leeds City Council spokesperson said: “The Headrow will be closed for resurfacing work from 7am on Saturday until 8pm on, between Oxford Place and Calverley Street.

“We have worked to minimise disruption where possible and are grateful for people’s understanding while this work takes place.”

The Headrow reopened last month following an eight day closure to allow for essential roadworks.

It is the latest Leeds city centre route to face closure, as works continue along nearby Call Lane and Whitehall Road.
