East Leeds Orbital Route (ELOR) Since the 1960s, the Leeds Outer Ring Road has been considered to create a social barrier between Seacroft and Swarcliffe, which prompted calls for a bypass around East Leeds' suburbs. The project started in summer 2018 and is set to build a new route linking the orbital Ring Road (A6120) at Red Hall to the A58, the A64 and Leeds Road to connect with Thorpe Park at Junction 46 of the M1, set to be complete by summer 2023 with enhancement finished by autumn 2023. The East Leeds Orbital Route is the biggest infrastructure project undertaken by Leeds City Council for fifty years, since the completion of the Leeds Inner Ring Road in 1974. It is intended to ease congestion in existing residential areas like Cross Gates, Seacroft and Whitkirk, and will also play a key role in the growth plans for the city for years to come. It will allow the development of the surrounding areas of the road, with the development of possible new shops, houses, and schools.
