M62 weekend closures planned between Lofthouse and Tingley
Drivers are being warned of a series of weekend closures on the M62 near Leeds as National Highways carries out waterproofing works.
A stretch of the M62 between Lofthouse and Tingley is set to close on selected weekends from the end of May while waterproofing works are carried out.
National Highways has made a temporary traffic order affecting the motorway between Junction 29 at Lofthouse and Junction 28 at Tingley.
The works were scheduled to begin at 8.30pm on Friday, May 29, and continue until 6am on Saturday, June 20, with closures taking place overnight and over subsequent weekends until the scheme is completed.
During the works, the westbound M62 carriageway between Junctions 29 and 28 will be closed, along with the westbound entry slip road at Junction 29 and the westbound exit slip road at Junction 28.
The order also includes closures affecting parts of Lofthouse Interchange, including links between the M1 and M62, as well as sections of the interchange circulatory carriageway.
National Highways said clearly signed diversion routes will be in place throughout the closures. Traffic management measures will operate 24 hours a day while the scheme is underway.
The order came into force on May 28 and can remain in place for up to 18 months if required, although the works are expected to be completed much sooner.
