The road behind Leeds Town Hall will be reduced to one lane but access to all shops along Great George Street will remain in place and access into Leeds General Infirmary will also remain unchanged.
A full list of the roadworks is available here, external.
The scheme is being funded by the City Region Sustainable Transport Settlement.
Councillor Jonathan Pryor, from the council’s economy, transport and sustainable development department, said: “Leeds City Links is the next major transformation to Leeds City Centre.
“It will create safer, greener and more inclusive spaces that encourage walking and cycling, helping Leeds’ residents move about in sustainable ways whilst reducing the risk of road deaths and serious injuries in line with our Vision Zero 2040 Strategy, alongside supporting the city’s growth ambitions.”
