Leeds Road Closed: Orion Walk Shut

Leeds residents and commuters are advised to plan their journeys accordingly as Orion Walk in the city will be closed from 12 August 2026 at 09:55 until 18 August 2026 at 17:00 due to urgent roadworks. The closure is in place on Orion Walk, in the Leeds area, and drivers are being directed to take alternative routes to avoid any disruption. Leeds City Council is responsible for the roadworks, which are expected to cause a medium level of disruption.

The 6-day closure is necessary to undertake essential maintenance work on the road, and drivers are urged to check traffic and travel updates before embarking on their journeys. Regularly checking traffic apps, such as Waze or Google Maps, will help to identify the most efficient routes and avoid any potential congestion caused by the roadworks.

Motorists are advised to use alternative routes, such as the nearby main roads, to reach their destinations during the closure period. This may involve taking a slight detour, but by doing so, drivers can help to reduce congestion on nearby roads and avoid any potential delays. It is also essential to check for any further road closures or traffic updates before setting off, as this will help to ensure a smooth journey.

The roadworks are expected to cause some disruption to local traffic and may impact commuters who regularly use Orion Walk to travel to and from work. However, by planning ahead and using alternative routes, drivers can help to reduce the impact of the closure and avoid any potential delays. It is also worth noting that the closure is in place for a limited time, and the road should be fully open by 18 August 2026 at 17:00.
