Armley Gyratory to partially close for a month
Major road works and planned disruption to the Armley Gyratory will take place during the summer school holidays and at night
The Armley Gyratory will be closed between 8pm – 5.30am each evening from today (July 24), until August 24.
The road will re-open during the daytime with 30mph speed limits and other traffic management measures in place to allow improvements to be carried out safely.
People are being urged to plan ahead, but diversions will be in place to help keep traffic moving.
The partial closures are planned to coincide with reduced levels of traffic during the school summer holidays.
Works will also take place on Stanningley Bypass during the school summer holidays, with reduced levels of traffic allowing the works to progress as quickly as possible.
From 8am Thursday 27 July until 6am Monday 21 August 2023 road works will take place along the Eastbound A647 Stanningley Bypass. The traffic management will be set up 24/7 between those dates.
Councillor Helen Hayden, Leeds City Council’s executive member for sustainable development and infrastructure, said:
“I would like to thank road users for their patience in advance during this disruption. The Armley works are progressing well and on track to complete phase one by winter 2023/24.
“Armley Gyratory is a busy strategic route used by thousands of people each day and therefore to partially close it requires careful planning.
"By carrying out the repair works during the school summer holidays and most importantly at night, we can hopefully limit the disruption with expected lower traffic levels.
“We’re working hard and as fast as we can with our contractors to make these improvements and again thank everyone for their patience. We have done lots of work to try and minimise the disruption these works will create, but no matter what ever the amount of planning there may be some delays.
