Transformational Project Leeds Northern Outer Ring Road
This project will complete a Strategic Outline Business Case to identify improvements to transform the highway network to the West and North-West of Leeds. Proposals will look to unlock a major strategic highway bottleneck caused by limited orbital highway capacity.
Transformational Project Leeds Northern Outer Ring Road
Proposals will include the expansion and / or upgrade of the Leeds Northern Outer Ring Road between Dawsons Corner (A647) and Horsforth Roundabout (A65).
The provision of more orbital highway capacity in this section of Leeds complements Leeds’s aspirations to reduce the volume of traffic within its urban area. It would reroute essential highway movements out of the main built up areas, providing options for efficient, congestion free and legible orbital driving routes around the city, on roads that are designed for such purposes.
