Essential urgent works are to take place on King Lane, Alwoodley, between junctions of Eccup Lane and Alwoodley Lane, commencing Thursday 27/02/25 for approx. 1 week, on weekdays only.
These works are carriageway patching, required to repair rapidly deteriorating sections of road between the extents mentioned above. LCChave been receiving multiple reports regarding ‘potholes’ along this section which we have been holding together with interim fixes but given the volume of traffic along this road these, and recent changes in weather, continuing interim fixes is no longer sustainable.
In order to carry out these works safely and keep traffic flowing we will be implementing a road closure on each working day, from the above date between the times of 0930 – 1500. Night working is not possible due to lack of lighting. Geographical layout and extent of repairs does not lend itself to facilitate portable lighting rigs. Temporary signals are not suitable as it would not be possible to maintain the required shuttle width for passing traffic along with sufficient working area and safety zones.
There will be no access between Eccup Lane & Alwoodley Lane where we will be fully closing off the road, with the exception of a number of properties within the closure where access will be permitted.
Signage will be placed ahead of these points at suitable locations to take traffic off this route sooner such as the Kings Road roundabout as well as any other strategic points required. Diversion will be signed via King Lane – Arthington Road – Kings Road – Leeds Road, Bramhope – Otley Road, Adel to Lawnswood roundabout – A6120 Ring Road up to King Lane roundabout and vice versa.
