Motorists are being warned about resurfacing work on major routes in and out of Bradford next week.

The southbound M606 is being resurfaced between junction 3, at the Staygate roundabout, to Chain Bar, at the M606’s junction with the M62.

This section of the motorway, and various slip roads, will be closed overnight between 8pm and 6am each night from Monday to Tuesday, July 23.

There will be a diversion on the local road network.

Resurfacing work is also due to take place on Thornton Road from Monday to Wednesday, July 24.

There will be lane closures and temporary traffic lights on the section between City Road and Weetwood Road.

To ease traffic flow, the lane closures will not start until 9.30am. The work will go on until 6.30pm each day.

Work is also continuing on the M62’s new managed motorway.

From 8am to 10am tomorrow, the Highways Agency is testing the new system between junctions 26 (Chain Bar) and 27 (Gildersome).

Traffic officers will open up the hard shoulder to traffic by setting the overhead signs to tell drivers they can use it as an extra lane.

Variable speed limits will also be displayed in a bid to reduce congestion.

On Tuesday, the junction 25 (Brighouse) westbound exit slip road will be closed overnight from 8pm and 6am.

On Wednesday, the junction 27 (Gildersome) westbound entry slip road will be closed overnight from 8pm and 6am.
