The multi-million pound Connecting Leeds scheme aims to turn Leeds into an environmentally sustainable city where in years to come residents will not require the need for a car.
One of the largest alterations has been to the City Square space near Leeds station – which is set to complete in 2023.
The stretch has now been shut to general traffic while work is taking place to create the “much-improved space for pedestrians and cyclists” that will help to improve journey times for public transport in the city centre, according to the council.
Elsewhere a number of new rail stations are set to open and a Leeds Bradford Airport terminal upgrade is also in the works.
Here are the seven biggest transport projects coming to Leeds in 2023.
