Leeds Rail Bridge to be painted Rainbow!
A railway bridge in Leeds is set to be repainted in rainbow colours as part of repair and strengthening work but also in support of the LGB&T community and in celebration of Freedom of expression.
Work on the bridge, which crosses Lower Briggate in the city centre, will begin later this month and will be redecorated in a bespoke paint design thanks to funding raised by the local LGB&T Community and Leeds City Council.
The bridge, which carries trains traveling north from Leeds rail station, will also see vital engineering work carried out as part of the ongoing Railway Upgrade Plan to create a more reliable railway for passengers.
Work starts on site on Monday, 26 September until February next year, although there is no impact on either road or rail services.
