Government supports upgrades to Dawsons Corner and the Stanningley Bypass for faster Leeds-Bradford trips.
The project includes a new roundabout and fixing the bypass. Hopefully, more people take the bus, and traffic should move faster for all drivers.
Safety needs improving as the bypass is fifty years old and has defects. Lilian Greenwood believes Leeds and Bradford have slow roads, leading to insufficient bus usage.
The government provides £35 million to improve journeys in Yorkshire and help the economy grow. Upgrades will impact Dawsons Corner in Pudsey, and Stanningley Bypass changes will happen near Bramley.
The government will spend £1.6 billion on fixing potholes, with West Yorkshire receiving £14.8 billion of this money. Business leaders say connectivity matters a lot and welcome faster trips between Bradford and Leeds.
This investment improves productivity, enabling businesses to grow and earn more. Success for Leeds and Bradford involves working together, and bringing the cities closer helps everyone.
The upgrade costs £42.679 million, with the government paying 84%, or £35.709 million, and the West Yorkshire authority covering the rest. Councillor Jonathan Pryor is happy about the £35.709 million.
Improving Dawsons Corner matters a lot, helping traffic and improving our air, which supports new housing and local jobs. He also mentioned other road projects like Fink Hill, Dyneley Arms, and Armley Gyratory. M621 work helps the city move and avoids the center.
