MORE road closures have been announced for the M62 next week as work continues to improve the motorway for drivers.

At Junction 27 for Gildersome and Birstall Retail Park, the eastbound entry slip road and westbound exit slip road will be fully closed overnight from Monday, January 21 for seven nights

The northbound carriageway of the A62 Gelderd Road, between the two slip roads, will also be fully closed for seven nights.

These closures are to allow for junction improvement works as part of the ongoing works being carried out by Highways England and Leeds City Council to ease congestion.

The closures will take place between 8pm and 6am, and a clearly signed diversion route will be in place for motorists to follow.

Narrow lanes will also remain in place, with a 50mph speed restriction on exit slip roads at J27 until the end of March.
