A new link road connecting Leeds with the city's airport would cost around £75m, the city council claims.
The council has drawn up three options for improving access to Leeds Bradford Airport.
Building a new link road from the A65 between Rawdon and Horsforth, would cost £50m, whilst the cheapest option would be upgrading the existing route, costing about £15m.
A public consultation will begin on 23 November and end on 24 January.
The questionnaire will be available online and drop-in sessions will be held in Leeds, Horsforth and Rawdon, with a view to construction starting in 2019.
'Considerable difference'
Councillor Richard Lewis said a new link road would help tackle congestion, delays and the use of rat-runs on the current road network.
