The repairs at the junction where Kirkstall Road connects to Wellington Street on the approach to the city has been causing traffic chaos this week.

Bus services this week have reported delays of up to 45 minutes as a result of the emergency works with a separate issue at Armley Road putting additional strain on the traffic network.

The council has advised that the Armley Road gas works have now been completed with West Street Gyratory due to reopen this weekend.
