Leeds bus disruption: North Street closed for emergency works as M621 night time closure remains in place

Elsewhere the M621 motorway remains closed for 12 straight nights this month as major roadworks get underway.

Here’s everything you need to know.

North Street closed

A dozen city bus services are set to face diversions this week with North Street in Leeds city centre shut for emergency works.

The closure is as the result of a burst water main with services diverting via Regent street and Byron street.

Buses from Sheepscar Junction going into Leeds City Centre will divert via Sheepscar Street South, Regent Street and Byron Street back towards North Street.

The length of the closure is not yet known at this time.

Elsewhere the M621 will remain closed in evenings this week as National Highways carries out a series of major improvement works to key junctions and slip roads.

Improvements to the carriageway promise to ease congestion, increase capacity and enhance safety.

The busy stretch of road will be closed overnight between junctions 1 and 7 until next Sunday (August 21).
