Jamie Reynolds, Operations Manager at NGN said: “We are currently deploying resource in the Swarcliffe area of Leeds.

“Due to the nature of the work we need to carry out, the Ring Road must be closed.

“We are working continuously to repair this escape, and have the road back open at the earliest opportunity, which we hope will be Monday morning at the latest.

“We apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
