Essential repair works will be carried out to Richardshaw Lane Bridge over Stanningley Bypass, leading to evening and weekend lane and footpath closures.
The essential works are to replace the existing bridge waterproofing system, resurface the carriageway over the bridge and install new expansion joints.
The works will be installed in four phases later this month and next.
Phase 1
Full closure of the southbound side of Richardshaw Lane over the Stanningley Bypass from 8pm on Friday 31st May to 5am on Monday 3rd June. A diversion route will be signed for the duration of the closure. Northbound traffic will be unaffected.
Phase 2
Full closure of the northbound side of Richardshaw Lane over the Stanningley Bypass from 8pm on Friday 7th June to 5pm on Monday 10th June. A diversion route will be signed for the duration of the closure. Southbound traffic will be unaffected.
Phase 3
Partial closures of both footways from 8pm on Friday 14th June to 5pm on Monday 17th June. Pedestrian access will be maintained across the bridge at all times.
Phase 4

A council spokesperson said:

Further consultation will be carried out with Metro, emergency services, local businesses/residents and the Owlcotes Shopping Centre.

While you’re here…
Producing your daily dose of West Leeds Dispatch comes at a cost!
There’s the hosting of the website you’re reading now, running our popular e-mail newsletter, membership of independent press regulator Impress, attending summer events, paying for equipment etc etc.
We need at least £200 a month just to break even – that’s money currently coming out of the pockets of dedicated volunteers who are passionate about what’s happening in our communities, connecting you with local groups and organisations as well as holding decision-makers to account and championing local issues.
And all that’s BEFORE we even think about paying something for people’s time – for instance, our editor puts in more than 24 hours a week in his ‘spare’ time to ensure The Dispatch publishes daily.
To put it bluntly, after nearly four years of daily publishing, we are not sustainable!
