A64 Scholes Lane: Construction work to widen key York Road, Leeds junction to get underway

Carriageway widening works will introduce dedicated left and right turn lanes on Scholes Lane, increasing capacity at the junction whilst improving its safety. A key element of the scheme will involve signalisation of the junction to ease traffic movements and improve the traffic flow onto the A64 York Road from Scholes Lane.

Road widening will also take place on the A64 within the West bound carriageway. This will allow an extra lane for traffic travelling in the West bound direction and will therefore ease traffic movements. Traveling in the East bound direction towards York and turning right onto Scholes Lane from the A64 will be made easier due to the signalisation of the junction.

It follows a consultation event held last November, and further engagement with contractors and utility companies, with work set to get underway on Tuesday, May 30.
