Most of the work will be carried out in the day, but it will require some closures overnight

To set up the required traffic management safely, the M62 will be closed overnight at the start of the work; two nights eastbound and two nights westbound, but not at the same time.During the rest of the scheme the M62 will remain open, although for the safety of road users and the workforce, 24/7 narrow lanes and a 50mph speed limit will be in place on both carriageways.

During overnight closures, fully signed diversions will be in place. These have been agreed in advance with police and the local authority. Eastbound traffic will be diverted via the M62 junction 30 onto the A642 , A639 on to Willowbridge Lane/Whitwood Common Lane before re-joining the M62 at junction 31.High-sided vehicles will follow a separate diversion. Eastbound vehicles will divert at M62 junction 29 for the M1, A63, A1 and M1, re-joining the M62 at junction 32a Ferrybridge.For more information, visit www.trafficengland.com
