Leeds City Council has issued an update on the closure of a city centre tunnel.
New York Road Tunnel, located just outside the city centre and on Leeds inner ring road, closed to all vehicles on February 12 until the autumn. This was to enable council construction partner Balfour Beatty to carry out repair works and replace 27 bearings on the New York Road Flyover. Now, three months into the closure, Leeds City Council has confirmed that work is progressing according to schedule. A local authority spokesperson said: “Work is progressing to schedule.
13 of 27 bearings have been replaced so far and the two northbound lane closures on Marsh Lane have been removed. “The tunnel & A64 slip road exit will remain closed until autumn.” Bearing replacement on the flyover is a vital process, that while only completed generally every 25-50 years, is essential to ensure the serviceable life of the flyover is maintained.
