Leeds and Yorkshire motorway closures: All route diversions as M62 to Manchester reopens after bridge works

Drivers in and around Yorkshire will have a number of National Highways road closures and diversions to watch out for this week.

But motorists will be able to take some solace in the fact that some are only expected to cause slight delays, of less than 10 minutes.

In recent weeks, closures to the M621 at Holbeck, M1 at Meadowhall and A1(M) near Leeds Festival has caused a host of disruption.

But in a welcome boost, Network Rail and National Highways work to dismantle and remove Castleton rail bridge - shutting a section of the M62 to Manchester - has been completed.
