Top contractor who replaced Regent Street Flyover renews Leeds Council partnership
A top contractor has renewed its long‑standing partnership with Leeds City Council.
WSP, one of the world’s leading professional services firms, has had its contract with Leeds City Council extended for a further four years, to continue delivering Highways and Transportation services across the city.
The extension builds on more than 20 years of collaboration supporting the Council’s Highways, Transport and Place‑based ambitions, including the development, maintenance and enhancement of critical infrastructure across the city.
Past projects delivered through the partnership include the replacement of the Regent Street Flyover, active travel and public realm improvements at locations such as the Corn Exchange, and upgrades to facilities like the Stourton Park and Ride.
Nav Gahonia, Director, WSP, said: “We’re proud to continue our long‑standing partnership with Leeds City Council. This extension reflects our shared commitment to delivering high‑quality infrastructure that supports the city’s ambitions and serves communities across Leeds.
“We look forward to continuing to provide technical expertise, capacity and collaborative support as the Council progresses its transport priorities.”
Through the renewed agreement, WSP will focus on helping the Council to deliver its Connecting Leeds Transport Strategy, providing safe, resilient and efficient transport networks that enable Leeds’ growth, improve connectivity and support community wellbeing.
The partnership has also supported Council statutory functions, including specialist secondments and the delivery of essential duties such as routine bridge inspections. The work will draw on WSP’s local presence and multidisciplinary expertise, as well as decades of shared experience working alongside the Council’s teams.
WSP’s relationship with Leeds dates back to 2003, with teams working closely together on a range of major transport and infrastructure projects over two decades.
