Work is to begin later this week on a bypass improvement project in Leeds.
The City Council will start upgrading Stanningley Bypass on Friday, 21 October.
The week-long scheme will see a new crossover created in the central reserve near the Owlcotes slip road to allow future road maintenance to be carried out with reduced impact on road users. The work is due to be completed by Sunday, 30 October.
In order to deliver the project, the bypass will operate as a single lane in both directions for the duration of the work.
A council spokesman said: "This scheme is important in terms of the flexibility it will give us in future to carry out work on the Stanningley Bypass such as road resurfacing with much less of an impact on road users. So it is a case of some short-term pain for long-term gain and we would ask for road users to be patient while this work is done or consider using alternative routes."
