PART of the M62 will be shut across two overnight periods next week.

The eastbound carriageway of a small stretch of the motorway - between the slip roads of junction 26, Chain Bar - will be shut for works.

This will be in effect on Monday, January 6, from 8pm.

It will run into Tuesday morning, with the stretch of motorway reopening at around 6am.

The same period of closure will be in place on Thursday, January 9, and runs into Friday morning.

Drivers will be able to follow clearly-signed diversion routes.

The closures are in place to allow for technology work.

There are 10 other planned closures on major roads throughout Yorkshire and the Humber throughout the rest of next week.

This includes five nights of junction improvements on the clockwise exit slip road at the M621, junction 7, Stourton.
