This scheme (ELL) has been developed to enable access to key economic development sites within the Aire Valley Leeds regeneration area as well as providing some traffic relief to large densely populated areas of east Leeds.

An increase in funding from the Department for Transport was secured in December 2005 for the scheme which will connect the inner ring road stages 6 and 7, at South Accommodation Road, with the M1 at junction 45.

The inner ring road stage 7 is presently under construction this will include a direct link onto the southbound M621.  The ELL and stage 7 will provide a more appropriate link between the M1 (north) and the M621 which has been missing since the opening of the A1-M1 link.

For more information please visit the East Leeds Link Road website.
