M62 delays: Full M62 carriageway closure to take place this evening to carry out repairs
Drivers are facing severe delays on the M62 with a full carriageway closure planned for this evening (Tuesday).
There are delays of 90 minutes westbound due to damaged bridge joints on the Rakewood Viaduct that require repair.
National Highways shared: “M62 westbound between J24 Huddersfield and J21 Milnrow Rochdale.
“LANES CLOSED
“The earlier temp repair has been unsuccessful.
"As a result 2 lanes (of 3) have been closed. A full repair is required and may take time.”
Specialist contractors have been requested, and two of the three lanes will remain closed until this evening, when a full carriageway closure will be implemented to carry out the repairs in full.
Drivers have been told to allow extra time if they’re travelling in the area.
