Plan ahead: #NewYorkRoad tunnel closure for essential maintenance from 12 February. #NewYorkRoadTunnel, located just outside the #LeedsCityCentre and on Leeds #InnerRingRoad, will close to all vehicles on Monday 12 February until the autumn to enable essential maintenance of the #NewYorkRoadFlyover. #LeedsCityCouncil along with construction partner #BalfourBeatty will carry out repair works and replace 27 bearings on #NewYorkRoadFlyover. Bearing replacement on the flyover is a vital process, that whilst only completed generally every 25-50 years, is essential to ensure the serviceable life of the flyover is maintained and subsequently this section of the flyover can remain open in the long term. Modern bridges are designed to make future bearing replacement straight forward. However older bridges, such as the #NewYorkRoadFlyover, require substantial temporary works with heavy equipment including temporary foundations to support the bridge at each bearing. To maintain the structural integrity of the bridge the work needs to be phased and some structural components strengthened https://lnkd.in/ewp3VRuY #LeedsNews #LeedsStar #LeedsStarNewspaper #LeedsCityCouncil #VisitLeeds #LeedsCity #Leeds
