Leeds City Council has issued an update following the emergency closure of a road near Leeds.
York Road, Wetherby, which was previously closed between Racecourse Approach and the Young Offenders Institute, has now reopened.
From Wednesday (June 25), an emergency closure was implemented along the busy route after concerns were raised over “unsafe road conditions.”
A Leeds City Council spokesperson has confirmed that the route was officially reopened as of 6pm yesterday evening (Sunday, June 29).
The fully-signed diversion route has now been lifted.
Diversions as a result of ongoing overnight works on the A1(M) motorway remain in place.
