Leeds Lock drops boats down 4 feet 6 inches. The lock, like all the locks on the Aire and Calder, is operated mechanically. There are lock keepers who move up and down the system but all locks can be self-operated. The lock has traffic lights to control the use of the lock. Behind the lock is Knight's Way Bridgewhich was opened in 2007. It links the Royal Armouries museum with Marsh Lane.
