Highway ground investigation works are due to start on the A647 this week, with a raft of night-time activities planned.
Leeds City Council are making a range of transport improvements in key locations across the city, with bus priority lanes and other measures planned down the A647.
A spokesperson said:
“Giving buses priority along key routes will make journeys quicker, easier and more appealing, helping to tackle congestion, air quality and health issues.
“Due to the nature of the activities some need to be undertaken at night. We do not envisage these works will cause any major disruption. But to help minimise noise disturbance, we have planned to start first with loud activities each evening.”
Night works will take place from 8pm to 6am Monday to Wednesday and 10pm to 6am Thursday to Friday.
The hours of work for day time activities are 7.30am to 4.30pm, with no works carried out within the carriageway during day time shifts.
When traffic management is required, it will be in the form of localised, single lane closures with two-way temporary lights. There are no planned road closures whilst doing these ground investigation works.
