A SECTION of the M62 motorway will be closed overnight this week for essential repairs to take place, Highways England has said.

The westbound entry slip road for the M62 at Junction 25 for Brighouse will be fully closed from 10pm on Tuesday, May 21, until 6am on Wednesday 22.

The reason for the closure is to allow repairs to barriers to take place, and a clearly signed diversion route will be in place for motorists to follow.

Elsewhere on the M62, the westbound exit slip road at Junction 28 for Tingley will be fully closed for four nights from Monday for junction improvement works.

It will be closed between 8pm and 6am each night, and again clear diversion routes will be in place.

This is part of ongoing junction works on the motorway to ease congestion.
