Keystone Retaining Walls to Feature

Forticrete has recently received an order for 940m² of Keystone Retaining Walls and an additional 330m² of matching Abutment slips for the Leeds Inner Ring Road Stage 7 Project.

Stage 7 provides the final link, connecting Stage 6 (completed in 2000) to the M621 and the wider motorway network.  Construction of the £50million scheme started in May 2006 with completion expected by December 2008.

The route will run from South Accommodation Road in Hunslet and will connect with Junction 4 of the M621.  It will comprise the construction of dual two and three-lane carriageways, through a previously industrial environment, with slip road links to the M621. 

The scheme assists in removing remaining through traffic from Leeds central area, and with the M621, provides a continuous circulatory route around the city centre.  The scheme is expected to improve travel times across the city and relieve congestion in Hunslet and Holbeck as well as the city centre.  The scheme will also improve access to the Aire Valley Leeds regeneration area when the East Leeds Link Road is completed, also planned for 2008.
