Drop-in event to meet the Lawnswood construction team on 7 October

Construction work has started to improve safety via improvements to the Lawnswood roundabout junction of the A6120 Outer Ring Road and A660 Otley Road. It is expected to be complete by next summer.

The construction includes introducing these changes at Lawnswood roundabout and the surrounding area:

• Making it a signalised roundabout.
• Signalised pedestrian and cycle crossing facilities at the roundabout.
• Segregated cycle facilities on the approaches to the roundabout.
• New signalised pedestrian crossing of A660 Otley Road, just north of Weetwood Road.
• A slight extension to the existing southbound bus lane on Otley Road.
• Reduced speed limits from 70mph on A6120 Ring Road, between King Lane and Lawnswood roundabout, as follows:
  • 40 mph between Lawnswood roundabout and Leeds University sports facilities access.
  • 50 mph between Leeds University sports facilities access and Tongue Lane.
  • 40 mph east of Tongue Lane.
• New waiting and loading restrictions within the vicinity of the roundabout.

To support our works, we are holding a meet the construction team event with your opportunity to ask any questions and find out more about the scheme, with representatives from Eric Wright Civil Engineering in attendance.

You’re invited to drop-in and to see the project team on Tuesday 12 – 3pm, 7 October, at Weetwood Hall, Otley Road, Weetwood, Leeds, LS16 5PS.

We look forward to seeing you.
