“To carry out the work safely and efficiently we will need to close both carriageways, but not at the same time. We will also do the work overnight to minimise disruption.
“We advise road users to allow extra time for their journeys and familiarise themselves with the diversion route before setting off.”

During the closures traffic will be diverted from junction 33 (Ferrybridge) along the A1246, A645 and A19 to Eggborough, rejoining the M62 at junction 3, or vice versa.
All works are subject to weather conditions and any unforeseen circumstances.
