What we are doing
Leather Lane will be closed to all traffic for a period of up to 14 months starting from 9:30am on Monday 1 September 2025 to November 2026.
Traffic will be diverted via Potter Row, Frith Hill, and Aylesbury Road in both directions (A413) during the road closure.
Leather Lane will be closed so we can remove the current road and construct the new green bridge over the railway trace. The overbridge design allows us to save much vegetation, preserve the natural landscape and protect local wildlife, as well as screening views of the railway from the newly aligned road.
It is not possible to construct the new green bridge whilst retaining the current access to Leather Lane. The road will be realigned as part of our works.
