Corridor improvements

Project overview

Funded through the Leeds Public Transport Investment Programme, this project will deliver a number of improvements to the A58 in Leeds City Centre. This includes new bus lanes, bus signal prioritisation, segregated cycle tracks, bus signal prioritisation, widened footways, and extended bus stops and waiting areas.

The works within this project are progressing independently, with works completed at York Street and St Peters Street. Business case development work is being completed for works on A58 Beckett Street, currently this will remain as a development only project.

This project converted York Street in Leeds City Centre to being bus only westbound, between St Cecilia Street and Duke Street. The improvements will reduce congestion on this short section, with a high impact due to its use by a high number of buses. The benefits of the project will be felt by bus users, and those walking and cycling along the corridor, by improving bus journey reliability and encouraging modal shift.

Project overview

This scheme consists of a series of improvements to bus prioritisation and complementary walking and cycling measures on the A61 in Leeds. This includes the extension of bus lanes, the allocation of road space to provide shared bus and cycle lines, as well as key junction improvements.

This project is funded by the Leeds Public Transport Investment Programme and will begin delivery at the end of 2020. The completed works will encourage increased bus use, cycling and walking. The project will support inclusive and clean growth through the reduction in private vehicle emissions and provide increased access to employment, education and training opportunities.
