A programme of urgent maintenance works is to begin early in the new year on the historic Leeds Bridge.
From 8 January, work will start on essential works to strengthen, clean and repaint the bridge which carries traffic on Bridge End over the River Aire by The Calls in the city centre.
The project is expected to take 16 months to complete, with traffic restrictions being in place from late January meaning there no will be no access over the bridge for most northbound traffic heading towards the city centre.
Completed in 1873, the bridge is world-famous for being the location of what is considered some of the first-ever recorded moving film footage, when Louis Le Prince filmed traffic travelling across it in 1888.
