Canopy between the viaducts
When this is complete it will be a (presumably clear roofed) canopy over the triangular gap at the junction between two former railway viaducts.

Old railway viaduct (Central Viaduct) crossing the Aire valley
Built in 1846 for the Leeds and Thirsk and Leeds Dewsbury and Manchester Railways, it was one of the earliest railways in Leeds and the viaduct represents one of just a couple of examples of the work of the engineer Thomas Grainger outside Scotland. The line was closed when Leeds Central Station was closed in 1967. Much of the viaduct was demolished, the surviving section includes the large arches over the River Aire and the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, and a series of smaller arches west of the canal (this view). This remaining section is Listed Grade II.

Between the viaducts
Looking from the recently converted section of Central Viaduct, which was a 'slip road' between the Great Northern Railway and Midland Railway's main lines out of Leeds, to the GNR's viaduct. Such was the density of rail lines in this area in the railway's heyday that there was another viaduct between these two, serving platforms at the GNR's Holbeck station. These arches look to have been cleared out ready for potential commercial use.

Tower block adjacent to Central Viaduct
Several new blocks, I presume residential rather than commercial, have been or are being constructed adjacent to the converted viaduct.
