Armley Gyratory fully closed - when will it reopen?
Leeds City Council are urging people to plan ahead and avoid driving where possible this weekend with major disruption, caused by the closure of the Armley Gyratory, expected.
From 8pm today (Friday, April 8) until 5.30am Monday (April 11), the Armley Gyratory will be fully closed to vehicles.
The closure is due to construction works taking place this year on the junction to widen the roads and make access easier for pedestrians.
On Monday, the road will fully re-open with 30mph speed limits, narrower lanes, and other traffic management measures in place, which will allow the main improvements to be carried out safely.
