Road Closure: FOUNTAIN STREET — Leeds

Motorists in the Leeds area are advised to plan ahead as Fountain Street in Morley will be closed due to roadworks from 22 July 2027 at 23:00 to 05 August 2027 at 23:00. The closure, which is being carried out by Leeds City Council, is expected to cause medium-severity disruptions to traffic in the area. Drivers who regularly use Fountain Street should consider alternative routes to avoid delays, and those who are unfamiliar with the area may want to check their traffic apps or GPS devices for the most up-to-date information.

The roadworks, which are classified as major, are part of the council's ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the local road network. While the closure may cause some inconvenience to drivers, it is essential to ensure the road remains safe and well-maintained for all users. Leeds City Council has planned the works to take place at night, minimising the impact on daytime traffic, but drivers should still expect some delays, especially during peak hours.

To avoid the disruption, drivers can use alternative routes such as the nearby motorway or other local roads. It is also a good idea to check traffic apps or websites for the latest information on traffic conditions before setting out. This will help drivers to plan their journey and avoid any unexpected delays. Additionally, drivers can consider leaving a little earlier than usual to account for any extra time it may take to complete their journey.

Leeds City Council is working to complete the roadworks as quickly as possible, and the closure is expected to be lifted by 05 August 2027 at 23:00. In the meantime, drivers are advised to be patient and to follow any diversion signs or instructions from traffic management staff. The council appreciates the cooperation of drivers and apologises for any inconvenience the closure may cause.
