MOTORISTS have been warned to expect delays on the M62 after emergency work has closed a lane.
The lane closure is on the M1 J42/M62 J29 (Lofthouse Roundabout).
It has been put in place by National Highways for safety reasons due to a failed bridge joint.
There is no timescale for when the lane can be safely reopened.
The lane is likely to remain closed until at least early next week.
National Highways engineers are continuing to assess the failed bridge joint and will put a plan in place replace to fix the issue as soon as possible.
Dave Wilson, National Highways Operations Manager, said: "We have closed off lane one of the roundabout to prevent further damage to the bridge joint and ensure motorists' safety.
"We have engineers looking at the scale of the works required and will be working to repair the failed bridge joint as soon as we possibly can."
