Dawsons Corner and Stanningley Bypass improvement scheme – temporary road closures and night works

The major improvement scheme at Dawsons Corner and Stanningley Bypass is progressing well. We’d like to thank you for your patience while we continue with this important project.

The next phases of work will be carried out overnight by Northern Powergrid and will allow for essential road works which involve creating further underground routes for cable services.  

During the nightworks, we’ll aim to complete the loudest work earlier in the evening, then continue with quieter tasks through the night. This will enable faster completion – helping buses and local businesses by reducing daytime disruption.

Upcoming work: 

• Monday 20 October – Cote Lane Road closure: Cote Lane (entry from Bradford Road) will be closed for one night from 7:30pm -5am. The closure will allow for Northern Powergrid to carry out essential road works, and tree maintenance work. The exit opposite the Police station remains open.
• Wednesday 22 October – Owlcotes Lane Road closure: Owlcotes Lane will be closed overnight from 8pm reopening 5am on Thursday 23 October.        
• Thursday 23 October – Owlcotes Lane Road closure (leading in to New Pudsey Train Station from Stanningley Bypass) will be closed from midnight and will reopen at 5am on Friday 24 October.
• 3 November and 4 November – Ring Road Farsley Road closure from 8pm-5am. The closure will allow for Northern Powergrid to carry out essential road works. Resident access will not be affected during this work. 

We’d like to thank everyone for their ongoing patience whilst we complete these essential works.
