Walking and Cycling
There are a number of existing walking and cycling routes through or close to the area. The Aire Valley Project Team work with the Council's Sustainable Transport Team to improve these routes and create new ones.
By Road
Access to Aire Valley Leeds from the M1 both North & South is from Junction 44 and the recently opened Junction 45. Junction 44 gives excellent access to companies based at Leeds Valley Park from the A639. Businesses based in Stourton and Hunslet can be reached by the B6481, which then continues into Leeds City Centre.
Businesses on the Cross Green Industrial Estate are served by a direct link to the motorway via the East Leeds Link Road and Junction 45 (opened February 2009).
Accessibility has been further improved with completion (November 2008)of the final stage of the city's Inner Ring Road (Stage 7). This has significantly improved access for traffic from the West and South leaving the M621 at Junction 5. Stage 7, including the impressive John Smeaton Viaduct, connects with the eastern end of the East Leeds Link Road providing an excellent network into and through Aire Valley Leeds.
