Leeds United's Elland Road expansion continues to progress, with new aerial footage providing an update on the ongoing South Stand improvements.

Work is continuing during the international break, with new seating and safe-standing installations remaining the main focus.

South Stand transformation continues during international break

Footage captured by Shaun Drabble shows the latest developments at Elland Road, where the South Stand is undergoing a significant seating transformation.

The upper tier is now complete, while the outer sections of the lower tier have also been fitted with their new seats and safe-standing barriers.

Attention has recently shifted towards the middle sections of the lower tier, where the previous plastic seating has been removed ahead of the next stage of installation.

Workers were also spotted drilling into the concrete, potentially preparing the structure for further safe-standing rail installations.

Elsewhere, much of the heavy machinery previously visible around the site has now departed, while load-bearing testing appears to have been completed.

The footage also showed activity on the pitch, with the goalposts removed and maintenance equipment being used as preparations continue for Leeds' return to action.

There are also plans to replace the South Stand roof, although no specific timeframe has been confirmed for that work.

The latest footage shows how much progress has been made, with the completed upper tier and finished outer sections of the lower tier providing a clearer picture of the upgraded stand.

Replacing the old seating with modern seats and safe-standing facilities should improve the matchday experience, while the planned roof replacement could represent another significant step in the longer-term redevelopment of Elland Road.
